22 caliber training rifle
I'm hoping some of the experts here can give me more information on this rifle and what all the different markings mean,Also wondering whether it would be worth looking for the parts to make it original again.

If it were mine, I would certainly restore it to its original military configuration. Interesting that the barrel is 1936 dated. Is it sleeved with a Parker Hale liner? Most of the other marks are just the inspector's marks found on British service arms. What is stamped on both sides of the butt socket?

No sleeve it's 22 original
 
It looks like it was originally a 1913? no1mrk that was rebarreled in 1936 to a .22 and converted to the SHT .22 IV. It it were mine I would consider restoring it. If your ever interested in selling it let me know.
 
That is the correct rear sight. I think on later versions, the windage adjustment was deleted.

I think the barrel is sleeved too.

Still a cool rifle. And X3 on restoring it. Don't be shy, just start reading and researching and as long as you have some hand tools, you'll be fine. It's not rocket surgery. :D

I'd love to have one like that to take the range.
 
What would such a rifle be worth, these days? I have one, that I was told was an Aussie training rifle. I'm not into milsurps. so I have no interest in keeping it, although it's been in my safe for over 20 years. I bought it at a local gun show with a M-98 cal. .22 training rifle. Sold the M-98 many years ago.

I have a few of these that came from the middle east. I would take the time and restore it. There were not all that many made and fewer have survived from that time. Mine were stored in the desert, so there wasn't any rust issues, just dirt and old grease. Parts are an issue, but you can find them. it is worth the time invested.
 
Most of them in Canada had a rear sight assembly using the Ross MkII sight. I have a few of them on my guns and I am looking for a couple of screws to attach the rest on future 22's.

Albayo. I've had no luck finding original, longer, ejector screws for the Cooey/Ross mount. I did pick some up from Evans Obsolete Screws (a Google search will show the link)
