The wood on the fore end is beech. Savage did not use beech so it is a replacement. That would lend credence to the "R" meaning replacement.
FR also means field repair, especially if it stamped on the butt stock. If stamped on the receiver it means Factory Repair.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Thanks guys I am happy with it. I was the first one to put scratches on the magazine follwer and the feed ramp finish. If it had been fired since the overhaul they loaded one at a time. Very accurate too, now I have to learn to shoot.

Funny they didn't mark these rifles "No4MkI*/3"

I wonder why?
