    Manufactured in 1942 at the Royal Ordnance Factory (RoF) at Maltby in Yorkshire.
    Non-Matching numbered parts Body, magazine, & Bolt

    It certainly would not have left service like that so I'm wondering if it is a rebuild of a sporterised rifle which is certainly one way to account for the assortment of parts and differing wood types.

    Ideally you should have the FIT of the bolt checked for locking lug contact as the bolts are NOT plug & play and need actually FITTING (work needed - not just pushed into the bolt rails) The reason the bolts were numbered was that they are not interchangable between rifles.
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...
