Ah.... MK VII, I suspected that Springfield Sporters may have been the importer based on the markings... but I wasn't so sure if they ever imported such animals... I will look and see if I can find further information on this angle.

I also regard this as a "light demill" (although destructive) compared to 1903 Springfield's that I have seen.

When I figure out how to take the bolt apart, I will look for the clipped FP. The bolt is stamped DP in multiple locations, of which some are worn from use.
I must say that the barrel is awesome (despite the addition of extra holes)! I don't have a 303 for a "bullet test" at the muzzle. However, I must say that I think that "this" has a better barrel than my Jungle carbine that I posted here for ya' all to look at.
Browning,
I am just treating this as a learning curve, for when I put on my "big boy pants" and go shopping for "real" Enfields! I believe that if I can spot a rifle that isn't correct or wrongly repaired, I could save money when building the collection later one. I figured that an "Enfield was an Enfield" until reading through this forum! You guys have taught me a whole lot already!!
