    Unit Markings on this Enfield?

    My mismatched poor old 1930 Enfield. Would they be unit markings? If so, ideas as to unit?

    Oh, and any ideas what the M means?

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I can't see them being anything but stage inspection markings Baal. Not even a steel batch mark because the body was flame cut from steel plate initially and then shaped externally on a pantograph miller. (Probably internally too but more complicated.....) But not subject to steel batch certification. Incidentally, that little hole in the rear corner of the frame was one of the what were called 'datum hold' locators.

    Not unit markings because they'd be covered by the grips
