Help identifying Lee-Enfield Model

edit

I am pretty sure it was built in 1915 at the Birmingham factory. It may have been a model 3 orriginally then marked star at a later date. All of the other intentional 3* seem to have a more official looking star wjere mine looks like a punch was bashed and wiggled about for a bit. Or maybe it was a mrk 111* intended and just had a modified 111 band. So it looks like it server in WW1 and stayed in service. Was rebarreld by a dyslexic in 40s and sold to sears after the war.  Sound about right. Hopefully i can figure out how to attach photos.

Thanks for having me

That day was a very long time ago - the requirement to have a Gun Licence in the UK came into force in 1870.

The 1920 Firearms Act updated and strengthened the law.

After the WW2 many 1000's of 'firearms' were converted to 410 shotguns as whilst the person needed a basic licence the shotguns were not registered, the owners licence was a couple if shillings from the Post Office.

We still had food rationing until the mid '50s and the 410 Lee Enfield put many a meal on the table.

We have 'always' had restrictive licensing for firearms and much more freedom for shotguns.

Even today you can carry an uncovered shotgun and ammunition in a public space (Shopping Mall for example) and be fully compliant with the law.

Funny funny well i am not a Johnny... Might be a Timmy. Canadian here so Brit lite. We share a queen and i would die for her. Yeah every part on it seems to match with exeption of those two numbers being switched on the replacement barrel done in the 40's (i am assuming at Bsa) my dad received it as a teen he said (cant ask anymore on account of him not being alive) he told me it came from Sears as it is. Not sure if that scope was part of that but it is the right make and vintage for sesrs in the mid to late 60s. It is still in my possession but looks like pops switvhed it at some point.looks like the original stock. Brass butt and that little wood plug. That is to replace the brass unit marker!? 

Appreciate the help thanks

My Father was a ABC as both of his parent's where Candian, American born Candian.

can tell that side never ever served any nation in any capacity aside from maybe hired guides during the indian wars (total unsubstantiated speculation) So i was raised in a family where war was not on the menu but had a very very very long military service for the British crown.
