Enfield L1A1 on a Lithgow cut receiver??

[BigBadDog]

Also
Rear sling swivel missing.
From what I can make out in the photo the front sight grub screw could be missing.
Front sight looks suspiciously high, bent barrel?
Looks like the gas cylinder is missing. Part of the deac perhaps?
The head of the rivet under the tmh lever looks like it’s been messed with.
Locking shoulder, from r/h side looks poorly fitted.
The back sight leaf should have an angle cut on its front side on the side where the stop pin is. Prevented shearing off of said pin and losing your back sight.
On the British variant at least, there should be the rifles serial number clearly marked on the carrier and visible through the ejection slot.
Bets on the bolt having a different serial number?

The fractures in the top slide are not uncommon. When the fracture was observed the fractured section was removed and the area that had contained the now missing part was filed off to a square profile. That’s at least how we did it in the 80’s.

A Bitser? Put together by someone lacking the requisite knowledge.

We never replaced an old pattern flash eliminator just because a newer one was available. If it wasn’t broke leave it alone.

And poorly fitted hand guards.
