I've been looking at trainers online (as I never seem to come across them in person) and I've been looking to find one that was built on early mk 1, mk3 with original features still in tact. Being new to trainers what are some key things to look for other than you might look for on standard smle? I found one from an online seller that was built on a 1905 (can't make out manufacturer on wrist) converted in 1949. It has a 22 barrel not an insert and still has the cutoff and volley sights in place. I asked for a photo of the crown and you can't really make out any pronounced rifling as you would on a decent 303. Is this normal or should it be similar to looking for a 303. Did these trainer barrels get shot out?
Any tips for a trainer newby would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
