My Mk V. Appears to have original barrel, matching bolt, and forend. The bluing looks better in person and bore is excellent. Note added wood at rear of butt. Payed around $2000(Can) about two years ago.

I wonder if the added butt was to bring it up to a long? Or a replacement because of a recoil pad added at one point...?

I don't know, BAR, but it's extremely well done and shows lots of signs of wear and tear. Also wondered if this might be one of the type mentioned by Peter L. which have the new sight bridge brazed on? If you look at this closeup it appears kind of rough along the right side.

Looks like it could be one of the 18 shilling conversions Ridolpho. There was a thread about these extended No1 rifle butts some years ago, where the extensions were dovetailed (or buttressed?) in place

Peter: When time permits I'll dig this rifle out and try to take some real clear closeups of the rear action body. Regards.

You should be able to see the line of braze...

I have just purchased a MK V dated 1923 and paid A$2150.00 in really good condition, all matching numbers and mint bore. Unfortunately it is missing the front band securing the nose cap. By the sound of things may have paid too much.
