I have a stock military configured rifle, much like yours. The left side of their receiver is marked R.O.F.M. No. 4 MK 1, 1941 and it has the proof markings and include "ENGLAND" on the right side of the chamber. It has quite a bit of rack and "order of arms" handling marked in the wood stock so, it could possibly be a war veteran. There's even an original spike bayonet plus scabbard. I acquired it around 1977 and fired it on ranges in the years past but, I haven't fired it in well over 15 years. Maybe that's something I should correct. I enjoyed seeing your Churchill. Cheers!
That sounds like a rifle made at Maltby and I think the ENGLAND stamp means that it was released for sale directly onto the civilian market . Yes you need to shoot it and keep it in working order ! Have fun .
Got one of these . Bore is in tip top shape . Love it
