And what did you mean by your comment. ?? Gun is all Orginal

The gun may be all original, but the stock has been sawn down to 'sporterize' the rifle and make it lighter to carry.

Some people refer to this kind of change as having been 'bubba'ed'. It usually has little effect on how well the gun functions, but some people prefer the original set-up.

No it’s full stock. Hasn’t been cut down. You can’t even see the whole stock in pic. So curious how would you gather your info ?

Can get another picture if need be to prove it hasn’t been chopped down.

This is an earlier model than yours, but this is what an unmodified Lee Enfield looks like:

It was quite common to shorten the stock (not the barrel) with these when imported and resold because the standard firearm is very heavy to lug around. It'll still shoot great and accuracy should be unaffected.

The definitive identification will be on the left-side of the receiver, and will look something like this since it's a 1940's model:

If you post the equivalent as it appears on your gun, it'll be easy to confirm where it was built and what the configuration was when it was built.

It hasn’t been shorten. Again you can’t see the whole stock in the pic. It’s all Orginal. I just went and looked at the gun.
