Receiver markings on the DCRA rifle remained unchanged
from its original .303 British military days. Note the bedding dowels,
indicating this rifle has been accurized for competition.
The same rifle fitted with a CR141A Enfield magazine
and 7.62mm extractor to allow the rifle to operate as a repeater.
All Canadian Arsenals converted DCRA rifles will have a
conversion number stamped on the receiver, bolt handle and barrel along with a
stylized maple leaf Proof mark.

this is common to all conversions.

Found on some rifles is an electro-penciled 5G encased
in a square/rectangle, the true meaning of this marking is unconfirmed but it
is believed to indicate direct ownership by the DCRA. The C inside an Oval
indicates the rifle was specifically set up for competition by Canadian
Arsenals.
