    DP Markings?

    What are the various markings to indicate Drill Purpose on Lee Enfield? Painted or Stamped DP on the stock and what else?

    For quick and thorough searches, everyone should check out the Google CSE (Custom Search Engine) which is located at the top right corner of the forums, just under the standard search box.

    It's a piece of custom code from Google that just searches Milsurps.Com posts and threads, including the archive.

    So, give it a try and you might find some really interesting old threads with content about topics you either never knew about or had forgotten.

    In this example, try searching for DP or Drill Purpose and see what turns up.

    Here's a few links to other threads where Peter Laidlericon and others have discussed the pitfalls of DP and ZF marked rifles ...

    Hope that helps ....

    Hi Badger,
    Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it, I reviewed most of, if not all of those threads already. I suspect I am going wrong by not asking my question well. I have improved my question here (with pics): RSAF No.1 MKIII* for your consideration
