I had one before I sold my collection of Enfields. Mine had a date of 1941 and was chambered for the longer 410. The magazine box had been "filled" with wood so that it was just a single shot. The story that I got on it was that it was converted and issued to Indians assigned to British forces during the war (guides and such). I don't know if that was an accurate story or not. It came with the standard Enfield web (Brit) sling and a Enfield bayonet that whas shortened - supposidly for jungle use - but still carried in the full lenght leather scabbard. It had a really nice stock on it - not all banged up. If I remember right, I bought the rifle, bayonet and sling for around $70 - but that was years ago when you could buy the various models of SMLEs cheap. I shot it quite a bit - it was a good shooter and I bagged a number of woodchucks with it. The bore of it had been reamed smooth as well and had a great polish to it.
