I know right, WTF is R005t3r doing in the Enfields section? Would you Enfield experts kindly inform me of the history of this fine SMLE please? The bolt matches the receiver, as does the nose cap.

Nice piece, all Canadian marked too.

Much changes, much remains the same.
Yes, thank you for pointing out the stock disc and cartouches. From what I can gather, it was taken into service on May 5th, 1925. It has the Canadian 'C Broadarrow' property mark. I was hoping someone on the Advisory Panel might know the rest; perhaps what the 'S' denotes.
Short butt; probably too short for most men today. Might be alright for women.

Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...
The short butt is really short.
