I had this rifle given to me a few days ago, along with a box of 303 ammunition. I have removed the front wood looking for any barrel markins, there are none. The front wood has been cut off just in front of the barrel band. This band is marked with the same S or 5 as seen on the receiver. Serial number on the rifle is 55038xx although the 0 may be a C all numbers are well stamped except for the 0 or it may be a C.
Butplate looks to be made from alluminium and has the trapdoor for the cleaning tools. The sling looks to be original. Here are a few pictures. Any information will be appreciated.
