    Look a little closer at the mounts... the front set is mirror imaged to the rear, so were made for it, not "lying around"
    Is the marking disc carrying two sets of marks?

    Pics of barrel markings are in the works....
    Someone put a heck of a lot of work into it.

    I would like to see the scope ring "feet" outside of the locks, and it looks like the front ring is a little "cruder" than the rear ring.

    How does it cam down? originally you lock the front ring into the front base and cam it down towards the rear.

    I have a WWI era Germanicon sniper scope where someone did something similar.

    Honestly the multiple markings remind me of the Afgan No5Mk1 (which I should have bought) which was manufactured by Savage, BSA and Enfield according the markings. A bit of "gilding the lily" so to speak.
