    303 identification

    Afternoon people
    Wifey & I should be boarding a plane to Fiji now but the flight has been delayed by 4hrs, because of that I'm using the spare time to register my bang sticks online...after about an hour I'm nearly finished, fortunately I had my RealMe shyte sorted months ago.

    I've got my father in laws old .303 and registering this might be tricky, I'll post photos and I'm hoping a clever bugger can tell me what model and serial number it is please?.

    Might be S/N R 470?
    Only because the R is above the 470 but it could go either way.

    Would I be correct in assuming it's a 1917 BSA SMLE?.
