For sale is a Ishapore No.1 MKIII * bolt action rifle in .303 British. Serial number- 46308. There is a BSA and GRI stamp on the rifle as well as an SA stamp on the stock. This leads us to believe that the rifle was Indian produced rifle. The No. 1 MK III* stamp is also found on the left side of the wrist under the safety rather than the traditional position on the right side of the wrist under the bolt handle. The FR stamp means it was "Factory Refurbished". Please see the photos to assess the condition of the rifle for yourself. Nore the serial on the bolt does not match the receiver there is a repaired chip on the top of the stock. This may be why it got the "Factory Refurbished" stamp.
