Enfield No4 Mk1 Question...

[nelsonhoneyfarms]

Recently, my Dad gave me his old Enfield. He bought it and the Weaver K4 scope back in 1971 and used it for deer hunting. When he bought it, the salesman told him the gun didn't fire, and sold it to him for $17. My dad cleaned it and it has worked fine since.

Pictures of these guns that I have seen online have a different looking bolt (specifically the area at the rear of the bolt) than this one. I'm wondering if this gun has been peiced together sometime in the past, or if that type of bolt is original to this gun. Either way, I'm excited to have this piece of history that I remember from my childhood. I remember being scared to shoot it when I was little, thinking that the brass butt plate would hurt my shoulder.

Thanks in advance. See attached pics
