Early EAL Type B / C 303 British Survival Rifle (Prototype?) Essential Agencies Limited Long Branch Enfield

Early EAL Type B (4 digit 1200 series) that looks to be made for Military / RCAF contract as a Survival rifle. This is not a Type C as the serial number is too low but it has a fixed rear blade sight (not the later 2 blade flip sight) mounted on the knox and the rear peep sight ears have been ground off.  Proper sporter rear butt stock with the Jostam Anti-flinch pad. Military finish on the metal is worn light on the barrel. This looks like the early RCAF EALs that were used in AC survival kits / toboggans where all the sights were fixed so that there was less chance of damage. Comes with a 5 rnd flush magazine. No military markings found on the metal or the stock but stock may have been sanded at some point. Bolt is not matching but from a 45L series Long Branch with a #2 bolt head. 5 groove barrel has crisp shiny rifling.

Nicely balanced and the fixed rear blade makes it easy to bring on target.
