I'm afraid I don't buy the "Gujarat Forces" story.

First of all, is there any evidence of any formation(s) called "Gujarat Force(s)", now or since WWII? I can't find any.

And if there was, why would such a marking be put on the scope bracket, rather than the logical place: on the rifle? Totally out of keeping with normal practice in firearms marking.

And if it was a military mark why would it go on upside down?!

"G------ Foundry" seems a much more logical and likely marking to me, just as we see "JG" and "N92" for other makers.

Plenty of possibilities here.
