    Amatikuluicon,
    A very interesting rifle. Enfield sent a lot of parts to Faz when they moved over to making other stuff at the same time as BSA Maltby & Faz started production in 1941. I once had an early Faz rifle that was assembled on a linished Trials rifle action, so the fact that yours has numerous Enfield marked bits is quite plausible. The pads are also of the early variety, & subtle differences in the 'lie' of the 4BA screws are typical of early production. 1941 mfr BSA'a Savage's & Maltby's are the same.....
    The facing off of the screws on the bolt guideway looks a little rough, but it is so difficult to be precise over these things, especially on looking '2nd hand' (via photo's, albeit they are good). Are there any barrel indexing marks?
