Could you take some good pics of the rifle please? Showing the markings on the left etc?
Looks like one of Beater's tankers. Member Beater has converted a number of sporterized Enfields with cut barrels to this tanker configuration. I had one and he does very nice work. The one I had shot well too.
Here's a pic I have I believe of an Inglis Butt. Note SALTD.

Looks like one of Beater's tanker conversions.
the end of the barrel and crown seems to have the same profile as a factory enfield.
It should shoot ok, and $380 for a tanker enfield is not that bad of a price.
But yes its been modified into a configuration that was never issued to anyone.

good to hear, I found my little 20" tanker really pleasent to shoot. No problems holding a 4" group at 100m freehand. One day I'll have to get serious and really shoot it. But its much better then my full wood LongBranch which won't keep a decent sized group from the bench.
but the LongBranch needs to have the crown fixed.
No 5 Trial 22
I read something on the internet it says that the Serial number should be under 1-102 mine is 155... It don't matter to me one way or another because the thing shoots...
I have what I believe is a No5 jungle 22 conversion.. I'm guessing it's a little bubba'd (the stock)
It has
M47C
1945
t10155
on the left band
pw3002 on the right on the barrel
really nice target sight on the rear and a hooded post on the front...
nothing on bolt
under the bolt on the right side looks like ligx can't read it
7 and 7c in front of the magazine
the stock is checkered sorta like this except a shorter barrel (21") and no upper wood
What do we know...

Wow...never seen such a beast.
It would be interesting to see a good set of pics.

Nope; early No4Mk1 had brass plates, it wasn't until mid war years the brass became too valuable for butt plates. Someone more knowledgeable than myself could chime in and provide year and location,but i know that a brass plate doesn't necessarily mean it's Indian.
