I don't think that rifle has a D stamping and that might make yours a no trouble fit on ammo though. Bill
It has a D stamp just to the left of the Tikka stamp.

They keep the nose from breaking off. The earlier ones without the sticks were prone to breakage. Or so I have read.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I think it was to strengthen the end of the stock for the bayonet. Seems like I read somewhere they had problems
with the bayonet mount breaking off the stock so the popsicle sticks were added.
Thanks. Good to see you around. You gonna stay a while?

This will be a back from the dead thread I am afraid. I finally got this rifle out to shoot today. It chambered and fired Hungarian HB just fine. No groups. I just fired it to test function. All good.

I was shooting offhand over and at the little pond where we made the jugs jump with your Enfield. It was frozen, which made the splashes look different from in the summer. The trigger is not overly heavy, but is really long. Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul..... Bang.
