Hello gang.
I'm totally new to Enfields and I've always wanted one. Well I picked one up at the local gun auction. Its a 1945 with a 1945 Mk 3 scope. Its came with its original storage box and the scope has its scope can. The receiver has the T stamped into the left side but nothing else. The band above the trigger is marked M47C 1945 it's serial number and a TR. The scope does not match the gun and neither does the mount. My questions are: The front section of the stock is numbered to the rifle. But the front stock and rear buttstock totally dont match. Their colors are totally different and buttstock even seems to have a glossier finish. The buttstock does have the S51 but the number by the cocking piece don't match the scope. Did they sometimes not match? Also the top handguard isn't ribbed isn't it supposed to be? Also someone told me it might be a replacement receiver. How can I verify this? Ill try to get some pictures tomorrow.
