Ever see one of these ???

I've held up a few of my Lee Enfields by the screen to compare and I see what you're all saying but- still some amazing similarities to the genuine #1 Mk3 action (minor details that would be difficult to replicate with primitive machinery). Obviously the receiever ring is not right and a strange barrel is grafted on but it's kind of a neat piece and I was merely trying to encourage the owner to dig deeper for an origin. Also, just because it was a Khyber pass special doesn't mean it would automatically blow up like an early Springfield 1903!
