    What do I have

    Hi ya'll, I am trying to find out what I have exactly. There are so many markings on the rifle. The serial number is A over the # 13425.

    Any help would be much appreciated?

    Thanks Ken

    Hi Ken,

    Surely lots of members here would be eager to help you, but I think they will be lost without much more details.

    Firstly can you provide photos of your specimen? Those are the very best way to identify a firearm.

    Failing that, provide any details about the various markings and their locations on the rifle, describe them as best you can.

    All the best!

    I'll take a wild stab at it: Lee Enfield...No.4....1941 Fazackerly with non-standard parts.

    Photos would help.

    I would also like to take a stab at this and query if this stabber would fit what you have there

    Yeah it's sort of like, "I bought this car and need to know what I have. It's red."
