I would say that this rifle was made to fit the 1888 bayonet.
In original form the fore end would have extended to the end of the rib and fitted with a Rigby end cap.
I have seen one such rifle in Australia.

For what it's worth, I thought the same thing before I read your response. The muzzle reminded me of the LEC/RIC carbines.
