Might Help with SMLE. Looking at your photos you seem to have a US rifle not a British built Enfield. The US built over 1,000,000 of these during WW1 for the British. It was based on the SMLE and was .303. The Americans then made relatively minor alterations to the bolt, chamber etc to take their .30 ammunition and produced these for their own army. The manufacturers marks on the rifle should be easy to trace
