Maybe but its TR, not FR, mate. I think its just a poorly struck "FTR". If you look closely the top right end of the "F" shows up.

A little chalk would help, but I tend to agree FTR

WellI have to admit that you folks surely do know your stuff! Have to ask, a brass butt plate has a hole for a cleaning device I believe, would this be a rod or a brass weight and rope? nothing there now but just curious.
Thanks again. |

A brass oiler and a pull through is what would have been in your rifle.

This is what your sportised SMLE would have looked like in it's military configuration.

By all means get one, but keep it as a souvenir, not a cleaner except in an emergency. They damage muzzles really easily.
