Welcome to the lee Enfield forum I can readily understand why you and the Brits have such a great affection for this rifle I now own the #4 Mk1 and I'll tell you talk about accuracy, and smooth operation I'm something of a good shot,but 15 bulls out of 20 shots is outrageous.This is some rifle. Think perhaps I'll buy the Ishapore or SMLE as well.
Again Matt welcome

Yes, all legit. You may recognise the set-up from Matt's You Tube clip. (I was standing behind him, feeding him some of the info) The top two rifles are mine. I've really gotta get off my butt and do a pictorial for Badger to put in the Library. Been promising for ages...

You're welcome to borrow my Omark if you want to do a pictorial on something different.

Mate, I'm not sure how to categorise your Omark. Really it's an experimental trial prototype. Being that it was set up by the Lithgow factory, (and SAF Lithgow made barrels for them too) and has an SAF serial number, I'd imagine it would have to come into the "Lee Enfield" lineage as a second cousin, once removed.
If you want to generate some discussion, start a thread with some pics of the markings and let's see if anyone has heard of them. I'm keen to pursue any info we can get, even to do a posting for the Library..... Other than confirmation that some units kept a few Omarks for marksmanship practice and competition, I've not found anything!
I'm hoping connections I'll make in my new job may lead to more info on it and other things with question marks hanging over them.
