1898 MLE with "HV" on barrel
Purchased this a few months ago- fair price and good bore. I'm curious about the HV stamp in front of the sight- can't find any mention of regular Long Lee's having sights upgraded for Mk VII. The front sight is also goofy- set up for insert blade and a groove cut on either side as if some kind of protector was once used. The barrel may be a replacement as the font of number "3" differs from that on the receiver ring but it is stamped '98 on the underside. Any thoughts?
