In the interest of Enfield truths (fun, debate, historical learning, and education), in a day or so I will start a new thread with more pictures of the receiver body. It will be an opportunity for everyone to do battle or have a few laughs. I will state my updated theory about this receiver, but I have no intentions of participating because to me, for a rifle made to shoot, it does not really matter.

If from that point someone needs more pictures or has questions, you guys and girls can draw straws as to who will private message me to get what is needed for your discussion. If you come up with the answer, have some one put it in an Enfield book.

For now I will be safety checking and preparing "Nora" for an up and coming day at the range. Yes, from day one, I named her Nora. I've heard stories of men that carried their rifles into battle named them. I have never named (yet) any of my rifles or pistols. Not even my cherished M1icon or 1903/A3. Darn, another /3 thing. She was named that because of something that came up the day I brought her home. The name was a perfect fit.

I'm not mad and I'm not being sarcastic. I just can't figure out how a forum on Enfield collecting has such expertise on receiver markings (that I did not ask about), but nobody knows what an Enfield barrel even looks like (what I did ask about.) Surely some one has seen these barrel markings before, or has pictures of their own barrels that may be similar
