Lee Enfield Questionables?

[AmEngRifles]

I don't think the wood is Indian as it lacks the typical transverse wood screw through the forend in front of the magazine well area. Also, if it was new Indian production I'd expect to see the later riveted steel band reinforcing the back end rather than a brass pin. I believe the wood is "new old stock" walnut made at Enfield-note the superimposed ED logo on the underside.

I really didn't take the stamps as authentic. I am going to be disassembling this rifle very soon to see what it looks like under the wood.

I would suggest giving it a range test (the No1MkIII) before taking it apart. Then if it shoots really well; don't disturb it by taking it apart.
If it's not great, keep the target for reference; then when you get into setting it up properly, you will be able to see your progress.
You may find it becomes a bit of an obsession trying to get the accuracy spot on! But when you are at the range and guy next to you with the latest stuff cannot do better than a rifle thats older than his Dad; it sure makes it worth the effort
