1942 Long Branch No 4 mk 1*/3 barrel ID

[jstr303]

I don't want to get off the barrel subject, but I thought I should mention that I am researching the distinct possibility that this rifle is a South African Enfield. I found a few marks on the stock after I received it on Tuesday. There is nothing marked on the metal, but the fore stock definitely has some South African marks. I've had a private discussion with limpetmine starting with the serial number. He mentioned it looked like a South African. I could not find the possible import marks he suggested I look for, but I was going to take a closer look when I tear it down for cleaning and lube. I thought if I could prove it's South African, then it would validate why its in such great condition after all these years. That topic is for another thread later.

Now back on topic. Still looking for barrel information, and no, the barrel does not look to be South African made.

Sorry for the spelling on that previous post. That is chiming not chimming
