Re-stamped to match barrel serial number by a non-armourer. If it was a complete rework then I would have at least expected the letter prefix of the serial number to be on the relevant stamped parts but that is missing.

Looks like a parts gun to me.

Agree with Kiwi. The serial on the barrel looks like it is the only nmber that may have been there from the outset. The font of the numbers looks very 'modernish European' to me, as well. The rather tall thin numbers with the serifs on the '7' & so forth smell distinctly Germanic in style......

Sigh, not the answer I hoped for but the one that I was pretty sure would be given. One the one hand it is nice to have my suspicions confirmed by my betters and realize I have actually learned a little in the many years of mucking about with Enfields and reading these forums, on the other it would have been nice to have an early war rebuild.
Thank you all for your time and insight.

She may not be a 41 rebuild Bill, but she may still be a decent rifle.

Report on range performance, that is the deciding factor.

As Daan says, shoot it. There are so few left and so many are put together, it's almost what's available now.

This has been languishing in the back of the safe for many, many years. While dirty and dark, I'm optimistic about the condition of the barrel. Hope to get a brush and some patches stuck into it next week and then I'll know.

If it resists cleaning then bang it and try. Have faith, it'll be ok and then show us targets...
