I couldn't agree more.......I've been saying never say 'never' & never say 'always' in relation to Lee Enfields for years. Many inaccuracies in otherwise good books are because people have been too dogmatic about, say, precise production figures, markings & so on. Sometimes there's something to be said for a little fence sitting......'most examples so far encountered are marked.....', rather than 'they are always marked.....' There's always some smart aXX down the road just waiting to contradict you!
