Lee Enfield stocks wrapped with copper wire ?

[Buccaneer]

I was looking at the website of a gun shop I do a lot of buying from and I saw that they have a British Enfield Mark III .303 that has copper wire wrapped around sections of the furniture.

I think the example in the picture appears to be an RFI Indian produced rifle looking at the nose cap and the fact that it has the famous "Ishapore" reinforcing screw. I have seen these rifles with manufacturing dates as late as the 1970's.
