The charger is a Kynoch made Mk III

Here are some extra pics to show just how bent out of shape this receiver is. An open bolt will fall out of it!

Just had another look at the receiver. There are no holes that are not supposed to be there anywhere on the receiver that might have been drilled for a scope. The only non spec hole is the one from...

Australian issued 1916 Enfield SMLE III* that has some major damage in the area of the safety catch.

It looks to me to be shrapnel. However, it may also have been a bullet.

This is my Johnson M-1941 Rifle.

I've had it since 2004. I bought it from a Sydney gun shop and paid AU$1200 for it.
