    1915 BSA MkIII* (no slot) with Volley sights

    Here's my latest pickup, mismatched bolt & a replacement Lithgowicon barrel but matching numbers to the forend & nosecap.

    Took the rifle apart to look for the mark left by the cutoff screw hole, if this forend had ever been on a rifle that had a cutoff, the mark should still be quite visible.
    Here is what i found before & after cleaning, plus a pic of the mark on my 1911 BSA MkIII
