"SSA" and "NRF" markings are sometimes encountered on First World War-dated SMLE Mk III* rifles. These stand for "Standard Small Arms" and "National Rifle Factory", respectively. Rifles so marked were assembled using parts from various other manufacturers, as part of a scheme during the First World War to boost rifle production in the UK. Only SMLE Mk III* rifles are known to have been assembled under this program.
GRI stands for "[[King George V|Georgius Rex, Imperator]]" (Latin for 'King George, Emperor (of India)', denoting a rifle made during the [[British Raj]]. RFI stands for "Rifle Factory, Ishapore", denoting a rifle made after the [[Partition of India]] in 1947.

Second World War UK production rifles had manufacturer codes for security reasons. For example, BSA Shirley is denoted by M47C, ROF(M) is often simply stamped "M", and BSA is simply stamped "B".
Savage-made Lee–Enfield No. 4 Mk I and No. 4 Mk I* rifles are all stamped "US property". They were supplied to the UK under the [[Lend-Lease]] programme during the Second World War. No Savage Lee–Enfields were ever issued to the US military; the markings existed solely to maintain the pretense that American equipment was being lent to the UK rather than permanently sold to them.{{sfn|Skennerton|2007|loc=Chapter 15}}

====Australian International Arms No. 4 Mk IV====

The Brisbane-based Australian International Arms also manufactured a modern reproduction of the No. 4 Mk II rifle, which they marketed as the ''AIA No. 4 Mk IV''. The rifles were manufactured by parts outsourcing and were assembled and finished in Australia, chambered in [[7.62×51mm NATO]] and fed from modified [[M14 rifle|M14]] magazines. The No. 4 Mk IV was designed with the modern shooter in mind, and has the ability to mount a telescopic sight without drilling and tapping the receiver.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lawranceordnance.com/lawrance-ordnance/rifles-aia.html |title=Improved Enfield Rifles |publisher=Australian International Arms Rifles/Lawrance Ordnance |access-date=28 January 2009 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080803155437/http://www.lawranceordnance.com/lawrance-ordnance/rifles-aia.html |archive-date = 3 August 2008}}</ref> 

AIA also offered the ''AIA M10-A1'' rifle, a jungle carbine-styled version chambered in [[7.62×39mm]] Russian, which uses [[AK-47]] magazines.{{sfn|Skennerton|2007|p=553}} Magazine supply and importation (M14 and AK 10 single stack mag) whilst legal in Australia, has been spasmodically curtailed by Australian Federal Customs (for more information, see [[Gun politics in Australia]]). It is possible to obtain a 10-round (the maximum allowed by law) M14 magazines for the M10-B2 match rifles in particular, provided an import permit from the appropriate licensing services division can be obtained in some states, yet Australian Federal Customs may still refuse importation on no valid grounds.<ref>[http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/vic/consol_act/fa1996102/sch2.html Firearms Act, SCHEDULE 2, Part (8)(b)], accessed 11 January 2010</ref>
