    Regarding Post #7.
    If you have a spare bolt for your .410 SMLE shotgun; would it need to be numbered the same as the shotgun to be legal? Seeing as it will also fit a .303

    My dear friends, as I have already said, I asked the seller for more photos (post # 6). The gun isn't mine and is located about 130 Km. from where I live.

    I really don't know. the question has never arisen.
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    The buttstock bears a mark, the letter G in a roundel (I - I - G and the broad arrow, I supposed, the mark is faint) and the III: a buttstock from an Indian SMLE Mk III , I think.

    The ISA /|\ is certainly Indian.
