i have a 1912 british enfield. the rifle has most of the usual markings (ie: year, british crown, rsaf, smle mk iii stampings) there is also "HV" stamped directly behind the bolt. I believe that is for high velocity, may be wrong. the rifle has the thin sling swivels, small brass circular piece on the side of the shoulder rest. most of the enfields i have seen have a wood stock that completely covers the barrel, and then has a nose cap on the end. however, my enfield has a more modern looking stock where the last 10-12 inches of the barrel are not covered by anything. the rifle has the adjustable metering sight directly in front of the bolt with a vertical sight at the end of the barrel. im thinking maybe this rifle may have been an early sniper rifle. did enfield ever produce shorter stocks? any information on this rifle would be greatly appreciated.
