help with markings
Am I correct, enfield no 1 mk 3* .....anyway to tell the year of manufacture (1946?)
Re: help with markings
I'm guessing it went through a Factory Thorough Repair in 1946. Why just a FR instead of a FTR, I'm not sure. Flip the buttsocket over and you should find the original date and crest.
Re: help with markings
I think Ishapore did the FR markings, I could be wrong though.

Marks should be on the other side of the receiver.

There are no markings on the other side.

Re: help with markings
GRI is the Ishapore rifle factory in India, it would have to pre-date 1949 being stamped GRI, '46 sounds right for manufacture.
I said I was an addict. I didn't say I had a problem.
Re: help with markings
Some rifles were scrubbed and sent to india. This could be one of those. They were sent all over to other places though as well.
