This is one of 2 I've had and a model E. I still have this one and will likely keep it until I die. Its built off of a m1917 and fully sporterized by a company in England by the name of Birmingham small arms (BSA) company. They only built these for a few years. From 1949-1951 I believe. The reason I ask is because I had it out the other day, switching scopes and I took a picture of it. I don't use it much, but it's one of my favorite rifles:

It is very similar to my pre 64 model 70 rifles. The dang thing looks like it even has a pre 64 barrel on it. A front sight hood from a pre 64 fits on this thing, as you can see in the picture. It still has the cock on close feature, but I installed a Timney trigger. My other m1917 has been converted to cock on open. Either way works, so I don't think I have a preference. This one has been re-chambered to 308 Norma magnum:

As you can see, it has a funky left handed stock on it. Because I shoot left handed. It works great for me. I took the original stock off and installed it on a P14 for one of my buddies. He had always wanted a P14 for some reason, so I surprised him with it on his birthday:
