I think I have been had...

Looks like a great piece of history and the multitude of inspectors stamps are nothing to be unduly concerned about, as long as rounds come out the barrel...........Enjoy it!
I am assuming you have had a good look at the barrel wear when you considered buying it?
Value your side of the pond somewhere in the $350-$450 for a good rifle, was it anywhere around that?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Barrel is in good shape with very distinct grooving (especially after a good cleaning) and no visible rust or pitting. Got it for $275 at a gunshow.
