I just picked up a barreled receiver, it is a pre-WW1 "No1MkIII* FR 47" retaining it's magazine cut-off but with updated charger bridge, I am curious what the star (*) significance is. Honestly on the rebuild I'd rather clad it as a Mk1No1, the looks of the MkI I much prefer and can barely find a single one in the states. Would the * indicate the updated Charger Bidge? With the FR in 47, maybe was a MkI which was updated into a MKIII? Thanks in advance.
