Second rifle, this one is similar (identical?) to another Lee Enfield Carbine that I have already owned. It is NZmarked and has a mismatching bolt. The stock disc is made of steel (?), Drill Purpose stamped on top of the receiver. Interestingly this one though has two receiver ring inscriptions. Top one for Enfield 1894 I. where the I. is lined out, and under it again stamped Enfield, this time 1903 and LEC over II* (I hope I'm reading it correctly as II), so reworked from a LEC I to LEC II*? Additional question, does the 13 on the barrel shank indicate rebarreled in 1913? The "KHZ Hall 303 Brit." on the receiver is a German
importer marking, as is the 671 on the barrel shank (proof date June 1971).
