Picked this one up out of an old collection....It looks to have been rebuilt by the British? I believe the marking on sight base is an arrow I 6/43 and there is also what appears to be a broad arrow stamped on the stock tip...This rifle is SALTY, non import marked and no other sold out of service britsh proofing...Any thoughts on this or has anyone ever seen anything similar? Comments welcome..thanks for looking...

Nice rifle. Been around. Broad arrow ... did time overseas. Maybe LendLease? Hopefully knowledgeable folks will provide help. Sincerely. bruce." Unlike most conservatives, libs have no problem exploiting dead children and dancing on their graves." -

"...rebuilt by the British..." Nope. The Brits would not bother rebuilding a Lend/Lease rifle. Aside from the fact they didn't have the time or tooling, they'd have just scrapped it or sent it back.
Isn't a Brit broad arrow either. Without all the 'BNP' stuff it means it was never sold through England. No broad arrows on stocks either.
A broad arrow with an 'I' is India. The 'I' is usually above the arrow with the point up, though.
That one is heavily pitted too. For what it's worth serial number 913307 is 1918. What's the barrel like?Spelling and grammar count!Comment
