I am working on picking up a RIC Lee Enfield carbine. It is based on a 1900 date LEC action, the stock disk is marked 12.02. Everything matches what I see online of pictures of the RIC carbines, except it does not have a bayonet lug. It has the same nosecap and grafted piece of wood behind it, but no lug and there is a cleaning rod hole. It also has the bushing soldered onto the muzzle. Did someone trim the lug off? Or did it come that way? Or someone swap a different nose cap on?
