I too have seen a few Service rifles with indentations on the cylinder caused by the ball end.
Ahh right, I thought that is how they are supposed to be (its my first time owning a mk 2 service). Right well it shoots well, diesels a bit but nothing major. Ill have to get my chrono out sometime.

Does anyone know how to date these rifles?

The serial number is S 10995
