    More photos

    Plus more pictures. There is no NS mark on the bolt. The single gas port is the same size as the one in the extractor. No Hatcher hole. There is a H stamped under the bayo lug. No cartouches I can see on the stock. There is a W3L on the bolt handle stub. Any information is appreciated. I understand that this rifle was made in 1919 as the serial number is 338524. Barrel was replaced in January 1931 at Springfield Armoury. What is the significance of the W mark infront of the mag well?
