he!!o and thank you for the add.
I recently acquired this Enfield which is pretty rough and appears to have been a trainer for disassembly and reassembly. Any information and/or resources would be appreciated. Since this is my first post on the forum, I will add photos once my post is approved.Smile

From what I've found so far, it was built in Lithgow, 1943.

Thank you for your reply; here are a couple more pictures.  It's not easy to see but also included is a picture of the right butt stock stamp.

MA on the stock would indicate Lithgow.  Australian WWII government factories were all prefixed with M.

The small arms factory at Bathurst was assigned MB.  I have a two page document that list them all but of course, it will not upload.  I'll email it to Shamu and see if he can work his magic Clown
