Memories of the .303 Lee Enfield

That is one sweet looking SMLE. Looks to be in top condition.
Thanks. It was FTR in '55 and I can only assume it was dressed up externally at that time. The furniture has been sanded back quite a bit and then appears to have been varnished, almost as if to create a parade rifle or similar. A little too flashy honestly. It has no butt markings remaining so I cant research any issuing but it appears to have been used very little, mechanically it's A1.
As a bonus it came with a nifty foresight cap which many have but this one includes a tab that extends down to cover the muzzle.
 
Shot my first deer with a .303 Jungle Carbine back in 1987.
