Converted MkII* questions.

[Lance]

When most of the .22 Short Rifles were deemed obsolete in 1924. NZ who just rebuilt most of their .22 Short Rifle Mark IIIs in 1922 and 1923 just restamped their rifles "IV*" for .22 Short Rifle Mark IV* (Rifle No. 2 Mark IV*) the current trainer of the line. It is very common to find NZ upgraded marked .22 Short Rifle Mark III's, examples that were not marked "IV*" later in service are harder to locate. This rifle being converted to SMLE ConD II* in 1907 is slightly more unusual as the bulk were done in 1904 and 05.
