New collector, having a ball (for as long as the cash allows anyway). Started easy with a MN 91/30 and then a Chilean 95 Mauser rechambered to 7.62. cosmoline and I have become fast friends. Off we go!

Hello Folks my name is michael.786 and I have just started a British military rifle collection. I have a Lee Enfield SMLE Mark 111 dated 1915 with a magazine cut off. This rifle has remarkably good woodwork for its age with hardly any damage on the woodwork.The Parkerised finish is also intact. There are no regimental markings on it but it has a large letter U stamped on the receiver. It has all the usual Enfield and Crown stamps on it. It also has BNP stamped on the cocking lever knob. I think the rifle was sent to South Africa after manufacture. The large U apparently denotes Union of South Africa.

It looks like it was returned to the UK and was sent to The Birmingham Proof House for deactivation. It has been marked DP for drill purpose.
Well thats me for the time being. I would just loke to say that reading the various threads has been invaluable to me and it is the collective knowledge, wisdom an opinions which make thius such a great site. I would love to hear any comments about my no doubt faulty assessment of my SMLE's history and I am ready to start on the learning curve!

Have been reading various posts for some time now and have decided to bite the bullet and join in. Hopefully I will have some info of use to others. Once I can get some descent pics of my No4 I'll add them in. Enoyed the article by Terry Lee on the sniper, I have one but it has some differnces than what was mentioned so will have to get some more research done. I am attempting to get the kit together that a Canadian sniper would have carried. Thanks once again.

Well have been a member for awhile now but haven't introduced my self.
I am more of a shooter than collector. I have a 1898 L.E.C carbine cut wood
a Remington R.B and will be looking for a #5 carbine and may be a martini Henry or a Snider
