Very unlikey the lug was for a light, when shooting over open sights at night you need the light source from behind to illuminate the sights.




The lug near the muzzle is for a bayonet. Since those mounting holes in the stock are right around the left side of the magazine, wouldn't a period flashlight then illuminate by the rear and front sights?

40 or more years ago my father and I spent many winter nights "defending" our ewes (sheep) against wild pigs, which eat the lambs as they are born. Dad used a sporterised No 1 mk III* Lee enfield, my job was to hold the light, and if we both got it right it was very effective.




Sounds like how nighttime targets where engaged by pairs of tanks, at the end of the white light searchlight era.
