As far as I know, they were actually for NCC and other uses. I'm surprised that it ended up in a guy's license. But why just two grooves?...Any one who could provide more info on this?

RDhillon,

fowad and the others are talking about a lee Enfield in .22 calibre.

Are you talking about the same gun in the same calibre? considering a Lee in .22 is rare, you are lucky to get to fire it.

I know people with PB licenses who own .303s today. None of them are lesser mortals though. The last example was be Director General.

.........................................Rarer still are Lee Speed patent rifles in .375NE.

.375NE and .375 Magnum are same??
what about .375 HH Magnum?
No. They are not, except for the bore. The .375 2 1/2" N.E. is a slimmer straight case, shorter than the .375 H&H Belted, or Flanged, Magnum cartridge, and much less powerful.

I have been in the market for one for quite some time . I think the NCC modified some 0.303 for training purposes . Doc confirms the modification . I have myself shot hundreds of rounds of 0.22 with that rifle . I have searched for one in almost 10 cities , crawling all possible gun shops but have never found one up for sale . methinks, they are still to be found in NCC gun racks .

Do let me know if anyone ever finds one up for sale.
