    Late 91/38 cav

    Hey, guys!
    I just picked up a 91/38 cav carbine with a YO prefix. It's a FNA-B, with no date markings. Interestingly, it has an overstrike on the last digit of the serial number on the barrel. The receiver tang has the second (overstruck) digit, and the stock sports the other. How late did they produce these? I have seen that XO's run in 1941. The bayonet is tight, but unnumbered, as is the bolt. Crisp stock, no cartouches. Very late cobble job? What do you think?
    Thanks, CFR

    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.
