BUGGER.....I LIED!

Well I've been caught out.
Going thru my collection looking for a particular mark when I came across this

Now I've always said that I did not have an FTR in my collection, but I guess that was incorrect, and an Air Force one to boot.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

A cukoo in the nest - clear it out immediately, if you send it to me I ensure it doesn't infect the rest of your collection.

I don't know if the saying is common outside of the UK icon

, and at the risk of teaching your granny to suck eggs

What does a cuckoo in the nest mean?
"An unwelcome intruder in a place or situation"

Looks like a lovely rifle, great to have a RAAF example too.
