No 1 MK 111 star changes

[read6737]

Hi One and all.

What were the changes made to the mk 111 to turn it into a mk 111 star?
I know they put a simpler rear sight on but what else.?

I have a mk 3 star with all matching numbers. only the bolt as far as I can see has been changed by the old number being carefully machined off and a new one stamped on.
I think the barrel has been replaced because there in a difference in the blue.
Front end cap is matching and the mag but not forced changed and no other stampings.
Just remembered the rear sight has been force changed.

It is a 1917 Enfield made mk111` it has been FTR but no date is an FTR normally dated? the FTR stamping is just across and touching the 111` stamping. The ID disk has been removed and the hole properly filled. The rifle is in very very good condition. I do not know its history other than it was an off ticket gun in France and hidden away for a while. I have had it now for 4 years.
