Check the MKL...

Same thread as here with photo montage in the post showing it mounted originally on an Enfield, and how it worked on a 1917 ShtLE (Short Lee-Enfield) No.1 MkIII* (Mfg by BSA - Birmingham Small Arms)

Yup, about as rare as hens teeth. I saw one in real life once...once. And it had a hole in it, I suspect from a round that was quicker than the swinging action of the flap.

Sweet kit ya' got there!
