Hmm. Second Enfield this week I've come across...but this one has something odd about it. Lithgowicon No. 1 mk III, 1942. Very nice overall condition, numbers match, stock appropriately marked and in very good condition. $195 OTD locally. There's a catch: on inspection I found three holes drilled into the receiver about 1/16" diameter, stacked right on top of each other and overlapping on the left side of the receiver just behind the front ring and next to a proof mark. They go all the way through. Why on earth would those be there? They are deliberately drilled, but don't seem to serve any purpose; no way that's a scope mount. I've been looking for a nice MKIII for awhile, but what gives?

Thanks as always guys. You're the best!
