he!!o and thank you for the add.
I recently acquired this Enfield which is pretty rough and appears to have been a trainer for disassembly and reassembly. Any information and/or resources would be appreciated. Since this is my first post on the forum, I will add photos once my post is approved.

From what I've found so far, it was built in Lithgow, 1943.

MA on the stock would indicate Lithgow. Australian WWII government factories were all prefixed with M.
The small arms factory at Bathurst was assigned MB. I have a two page document that list them all but of course, it will not upload. I'll email it to Shamu and see if he can work his magic
