Hello

I have a Parkerifled .22 Enfield Rifleicon with the following markings on the wrist band below the bolt handle:

VR
ENFIELD
1900
LEC
I*

The rifle is a .22 barrel sleeved conversion by Parker and shows the bolt mounted safety. The bolt handle has a flattened profile. There is a smaller type 'magazine' that serves only to catch the fired cases and is retained by a short chain. An unmarked brass disc is set into the butt.

The rifle action looks similar to that of the Lee Metford and I hope someone might be able to identify the lineage of this particular conversion. The markings suggest a Lee Enfield Mk I*?
Does LEC stand for Lee Enfield Carbine?

Were many of this type of donor rifle converted by Parker?

Thank you....
