No.1 MkVI Enfield and No.4 Mk1 Trials Rifles

Tue, 22 Jun 2010 08:08:33 -0400

by: Badger

Description: <h1>No.1 MkVI Enfield and No.4 Mk1 Trials Rifles</h1> I'd like to help round out ~Angel~'s Enfield collection, so I'm looking for two top tier collector's grade rifles.  Willing to pay a very good premium for the right quality pieces. If you have one of these, or know of someone who has one, please send an email advising price and providing pics. I've displayed below typical pics from Jay Currah's web site (with thanks) of a No.1 MkVI Enfield. Thanks in advance.... Regards, Badger <img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/badgerdog/generalstorage/tempworkingdirectory/do7lw0u.jpg" alt="" width="278" height="127" />   <img src="http://photos.imageevent.com/badgerdog/generalstorage/tempworkingdirectory/do7lw09.jpg" alt="" width="847" height="185" /> The SMLE design was fairly expensive to manufacture because of the many forging and machining operations required. In the 1920s several experiments were carried out to help with these problems, reducing the number of complex parts. <a title="No.1 MkVI Enfield and No.4 Mk1 Trials Rifles" href="../showthread.php?t=1062">No.1 MkVI Enfield and No.4 Mk1 Trials Rifles</a> <blockquote> The SMLE Mk V , later Rifle No. 1 Mk V, used a new receiver-mounted aperture sighting system, which moved the rear sight from its former position on the barrel. The increased gap resulted in an improved sighting radius, improving sighting accuracy, and the aperture improved speed of sighting (making it also known as a "battle sight"). The magazine cutoff was also reintroduced, and an additional band was added near the muzzle for additional strength during bayonet use. Unfortunately, this design was found to be even more complicated to manufacture than the Mk III. Production of this rifle numbered approximately 20000 units, produced between 1922 and 1924 at RSAF Enfield. The No. 1 Mk VI also introduced a heavier "floating barrel" that was independent of the forearm, allowing the barrel to expand and contract without contacting the forearm and changing the zero of the rifle. The receiver-mounted rear sights and magazine cutoff were also present. Production numbered 1025 units, produced between 1930 and 1933. </blockquote>
