It's a later manufacture, the first ones (1949) were marked in the euro designation for the Hornet (I recall something like 5.6x??Ho - can't recall the case length). The earlier ones had a slightly tighter chamber, which meant the odd case got sticky after a few reloads and needed to be popped out. Effectively needed small base dies... Very nice rifles, lovely to shoot. Reloading is the go, ammo at factory prices is quite eye watering.
