I recently accuired a No1 MkIII with 110rnds of 303 for about $100. It was in terrible neglected condition and had been stored in a basement, since then i have cleaned it up and made it look a whole world away from the condition it was in upon purchase. I have recently been trying to track down history on in and what I have is that it was made by BSA and has a stock ring date of 1937. The thing that is giving me trouble though is that the stock disc is very unusual. It is made of steel or aluminum instead of brass and i cannot decipher the codes on the disc. They read HILTI on the upper half of the disc and R-23 on the lower. The best guess I have is that it is a misprinted Highland infantry rifle or from sort of school. I will post pictures below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
