[waco16]

Can anyone comment on the lack of cleaning rod channel in the forend of an 1890 Sparkbrook Magazine Rifle.
The rifle has been upgraded to Mk1* with an Enfield inspectors mark and date 6-96.

The nosecap has the hole for the rod
The forend has the finger grooves and finger clearance for the cutoff. It has a crisp Sparkbrook inspection mark behind the nosecap where the channel would be

Incidentally the butt carries an Enfield Inspectors mark at the wrist
