Do u have a Tree O Tree?

Hello All Here are a few photos of my No4 Mk1 303

I'm trying to figure out as much as i can about this Rifle if anybody has any ideas about any of the markings let me know

Things I'm also wanting to find out are:
Year of Manufacture.
Who Manufactured.
Where it was used and possibly by who.

#1Royal Ordinance Factory Fazakerly.
#21942.
#3Most commonwealth forces.

As you have an A suffix serial number,at least one of the parts used in it’s manufacture is classified as non standard,or not necessarily interchangeable.
Now before you ask which one,it could be any part.
It was more of a note for armourer’s so they could be on the lookout for it when it came in for repairs or refurbishment.

Thanks Macca

Fazakerly are the sought after 303's from memory that's awesome
which mark was that denoted from or was it from the serial number?

I spent all day looking up information and it is one helluva hole

the symbol on the bolt head is what i've been trying to figure the most

Just recently sold my tree oh tree Golden State arms jungle forgery to a collector. Fairly accurate for irons out to about 300, then the shooter just flat runs out of skill.

I like the snap 5 exposures of 6 seconds gotta get 10 rounds out at 300 meters
