I have seen the marking S51 on a few TR butt stocks. What is this? It is located on the bottom just back of the wrist.

Although S51 isn't specifically in the listing below, here's a link that will help with official markings. :thup:
It's a site provided by Amatikulu with some good information to bookmark for the future.
Lee Enfield Rifle Markings (click here)
S51 = Indicates sniper conversion by Holland & Holland
Check the 1944 Enfield No.4 Mk1(T) Sniper Rifle (Mfg by BSA Shirley - M47c) displayed in the England - Milsurp Knowledge Library.
You'll see it on the butt of that rifle in the photo montage.....

It's the war time manufacturer's code for Holland & Holland.
