   Well learned that a BA stamp is not Buffalo Arms but BA = Bathurst Australia. So need a little more info on this Enfield. Yep the stock got cut sanded hard but the metal looks good and the nice thing is that the number on the bolt handle and near the top of the barrel on the receiver are the Same. Ra.
Note my little dog had to stick her head into everything to see what was up on one of the pics.  
Thanks in Advance.  

Later 42rocker

	I live in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada. Around here, that rifle would go for around $250 - $275.

	A good candidate for restoration!
	It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!

	Zed. Hasn't the barrel been bobbed off not permitting a full wood military restoration?

	Thanks for every ones thoughts on this. I do have a mag that came with it. Just did not include it in any of the pics. It is not numbered. Where is originally from? Rebuilt with new barrel? I'm not sure on the star and what it means. Later 42rocker

	The "" just denotes a minor revision. Magazine cutoff removed, long range "Volley" sights deleted & a few other little changes to the MkIII(no star). Barrel length is an easy test. UNLOAD THE RIFLE* Now close & lock the bolt. Take a cleaning rod & slide it in the muzzle til it contacts the bolt face. Mark the end of the barrel on the rod (tape or a sharpie is fine) Pull the rod out & measure from the end to the mark. if its 25.5 inches its un-cut.

	Actually, I may have to apologize and retract for my barrel length comment. I was looking for a bayonet lug. Then realized it's a No1. Shows again my lack of knowledge on No1's.

	absolutely , i had noticed the marking disc and knew what it was , also mkIII* on the wrist and rear sight sorta gave it away , but im not casting any stones here as i often miss things in the photos these days , these happen to be some really nice photos [on my monitor anyway] you are forgiven

	Thanks for the input. I'm doing a gunshow Sat and Sunday so will be getting a few things out and during that time I'll check out the barrel length. Later 42rocker

	The barrel length is fine, Rocker. To restore, the wood is hard to find and expensive these days though.
