SMLE Rifle MkII**Cond Navy

Superb rifle, thanks for posting the pics.

Were you able to keep the original barrel? (stamps on it would be interesting, well to some of us anyway...)

I did not change the barrel myself but I have been intouch with the gunsmith who did the work and he assures me that there were no markings of any real interest on the original barrel other than the ones you would normally expect to see, he does not remember seeing a date stamp.

My Lee Enfield dated 1907 and marked ConD 11* also has a '07 dated barrel, the serial number is 6446 over x. It could have been a early Mark 1 action body from the information
made available to me from the late Skip Stratton. The butt plate is also from a long Lee rifle but has the later swivel. Some photos:Attachment 64901Attachment 64902Attachment 64903Attachment 64904Attachment 64905Attachment 64906Attachment 64907
