They were also taking Mk1s and refitting the triggers and stamping them Mk1/2 FTR (a Factory Thorough Refit which is what I have) in the early 50s. It should be a great shooter.
These are known as Korean War rebuilds. Yup, the Brits and Commomwealth nations, still went to war with bolt actions, while some, like the Belgians and Americans, used self loaders.
