1902 RSAF Enfield LE/ 1910 CLLE

[Anzac15]

This one arrived today. She's a 1902 Enfield LE I, CLLE'd in 1910. Appears to be some lettering above the '1910', but too worn. Appears to be in a somewhat crude stock, Indian buttstock, Indian bolt. There is a 'Y' on the knoxform and barrel. Meaning?
Am I to assume that this was a 'Long Lee' originally? This one has definitely been around the block. Would love to hear some input on it!

Could you remove the handguard to show the barrel markings - thanks RCS

[Anzac15]

About the extent of them...

[Bruce_in_Oz]

The "surface grade" on the metal and wood seems somewhat "agricultural".

any details on the "background" of this one?

I also have some concerns about this rifle.

Let's hear it, want to hear all thoughts.

There are remnants of other markings here and there, but worn to a point to where you can't tell what they were.

Appears to be very close to the configuration of the S.M.L.E. Mk.IV. Probably upgraded.

The butt socket markings look alright to me. What makes me wonder is the crude rivet job on the charger bridge and strange rear handguard clip installation. For some reason the rear triggerguard screw is in backwards. Is this a Tennesse Guns (TGI) import?

[Anzac15]

I'm afraid I put that screw in backwards by accident. I honestly don't know WHAT I have here. Mag release appears to be a No 4, as does the magazine. I've no doubt the receiver is genuine.

Oh, and no....not a TGI mport.

If you could get that rear trigger-guard screw in "the wrong way", there is something seriously wrong with the threads on the screw, the receiver, or both.

If it ONLY fits that way, there is DEFINITELY something fishy about the receiver. If it fits either way and the screw simply drops in, the threads are seriously defective.
