My neighbor has inherited a SMLE. I got a quick look at it the other day and am going back later this week to really go over it. There were two oddities to this rifle. First it has flutes cut into the upper hand guard. The are machine cuts, obvious from their precision. Anyone ever seen these? Also, the tops of front sight protective ears are machine knurled. A little help here, also, please. Next, the barrel seems to extend more than the usual Mark I type, and it has some type of lug at either the 5 or 7 o'clock positions. Help!
This rifle appears to have been well cared for. The furniture is in excellent shape. However, there is no rondel on the stock.
Wanna play, "What's He Got," before I get a really good look at this piece later.
