Had a kind of neat find.... A training SMLE rifle... made of a solid wood stock, cast iron trigger mech, cast nose piece, lead weights inserted... strange rear sight.... Any ideas as to providence... Only has K.A.W.S. marked on butt by steel butt plate....



Trigger group.. solid cast iron with lead insert painted where magazine should be:



Rear sight:






Cast nose piece (SMLE bayonet fits perfectly):





Inserted lead weight (making rifle actual weight):





Only markings:



None of the parts appear to be actual SMLE parts including the sling swivels.
