It is not Consper. 
It is actually stamped .303 2.222" 18.5 Tons Per □"

Would not mind seeing the rest of the rifle...

These are UK MOD release from service markings.  Indicating the calibre, cartridge case length and chamber pressure of the .303 Mk 7 cartridge.  

Note that the units of pressure (tons per square inch) use a unique British Axial Pressure measuring method that does not correlate to other typical standards (US Copper Units of Pressure or Piezo Peak Pressure methods).
