Lee-Metford Mk 2

[Jc5]

Here's what we need to know:

1) Is there a number on the bolt handle?
2) Are there numbers or markings underneath the wood? This isn't a safe queen, so probably a good idea to remove the fore-end (carefully) to inspect for rust, and cleaning, and see what's under there.
3) Is there anything stamped on the top-rear flat part of the action (where the bolt slides in)?
4) Let's see pics of the nose cap, the volley sight, and the left side of the action.
5) Does the barrel have 5 grooves or 7 grooves?
6) What is the overall length? It looks to be standard length for an MLM, but never hurts to confirm.

Thanks for posting!

Following up on this. Hoping to learn more.
