Doh, I should have cropped that out! Didn't notice

You're right. In that picture (picture071), the barrel you see is a crusty pitted No1Mk3 barreled action (unsalvageable). The good parts were used to retrofit another one that was in better shape but sporterized.

The metal on the MkV is in great shape (thank God!)
