I recently got my enfield back from the gunsmith. I had it cleaned and looked over b/c I had previously had a primer fall out when I was shooting some surplus ammo.
I've recently done some reserch on the net about the SMLE... & I was wondering if anybody here knows anything about some of these markings that I found under the rear/top handguard.. they are stamped on the base of the barrel where it connects to the reciver.
I'll be posting this on some of the enfield forums also...
thanks for any info...
My Lee-Enfield #1 mark 3 SMLE

and here is a few pic of the barrel markings (on the left of the barrel)
