This rifle started life as an 1892 dated Lee Metford MkII . 303 caliber rifle, then was converted into an extremely early S. M. L. E. configuration, and later to a . 22 Training rifle.. It may well have passed through being modified to an 1895 Long Lee Enfield as well, though the markings do not indicate this. The action is also marked with serial P 14175, which is also present on the end of the nose
