    Interesting! I suspect it must have been overlooked by whomever needed one. I found one which sold recently for around $50 as a pre-set price; I suspect it was snapped up and might have sold for more...

    Hello Patrick,

    I actually have the opposite conundrum; I have a cuttoff and no rifle. I would like to establish a 'fair' price to ask if I decide to sell it. The very few I have seen sell/or heard...

    Hello gents,

    I regret having to ask about value (I know it gets on peoples nerves), but I need to know what a Mk V cuttoff (no hole) is worth. I'm sorry that I have no photos right now. Typical...

    Why 1937 or 1938?

    Since you say the undated ones are postwar, does that mean it was rebarreled before ww2?

    Didn't they use a different wood instead of walnut? I thought they tried to use some hardwood before settling on the birch used on LB No 4s.

    I know there are several photos of No5 rifles in use by paras in 1944-45, were they the only units to use the No5 in large numbers before the war ended? I have heard references to some being sent to...

    There are pictures of mark III's with the front volley sights intact taken during the 1940-1943 period, so a few were still intact.

    From what you and 5thBatt say I think it's plausible that some people confused the larger hole on the early bolts for a modification. Makes sense, no reason to make the...

    Thanks, do you know anything about those that underwent rebuild and had the hole enlarged?

    It may have been reported on No5's that also had the "Ishy" bolt through the fore end.

    Peter, do you think the bolts that had the holes enlarged during rebuild were just done to bring all the holes to the same size/add holes on bolts that were not made with them? Or had it something to...

    Pre Great War 1908-1914 Enfields

    Couldn't find much on the early use history of the SMLE, did it see much actual use prior to the Great War breaking out in 1914?

    And what is the highest letter prefix used before then?

    What's throwing me off, and I am no expert on wood. Is that it looks like walnut, but has a little of that "scaley" look that I associate with beech?
