It has- 30" octagonal barrel.
- An "Afrika" style stock, where the wood goes about 80" of the barrel.
- Military rear sight.
- Pistol grip instead of straight military style grip.
- Most interestingly a bayonet lug.

It looks like it has been used as a target rifle. There seems to have been a sight screwed onto the left hand side of the stock and a sling swivel has been attached to the floor plate.

Could be possible. Is there any marks (holes etc.) in receiver ? But aperture sight was quite common for hunting purposes in those older times too. Here is some older british dioter mods: http://rifleman.org.uk/PH_Service_sights.htm

The reason for the rear sling swivel stud´s new place could be an idea to get long barrels muzzle lower when carrying the rifle in bush....like older Martini Henry -style.
