Comparing the magazine with a normal M1910 magazine it indeed appears to have been modified. I however can't see much of a difference on the bolt head when comparing it with a normal .303 from the M1910.
Holding the rifle in standing position your cheek will anyway partially touch the original rear sight base, so therefore it fits. The scope rail has been moved forward anyway, so this would also not be a problem. Only my right hand feels too long to properly sit on the trigger. But since the cutout for the thumb is anyway too small for my thumb it is my feeling that this rifle was either made for someone of a very small size, a female or possibly even a child.
I might also note that the buttplate is missing. This one could had also added some overall length too.
Edit: re screw in the trigger guard: it avoids that the trigger resets too much forward. My best guess a primitive solution to shorten the trigger way.Information
