There is a sticky above that describes a rifle that is only one number off yours. The owner (Badger) states that the markings mean "County of York, 51st rifle, Home Guard. The sticky is very informative and history of the Home Guard is available on the internet. Regards, Tom

Now that I know what it is. I look at it differently. It explains it's hg12121 numbering and fine condition. But I have not fired it because I don't know the cartridge....280 or .303??

.303 - only sporting rifles were chambered in .280, except for the special military match ones.
