Ran across this ad and thought this might be of interest to Enfield collectors:

PRESENTATION B.S.A. NO.1 MK.3 FULTON REGULATED .303 CAL. MATCH RIFLE. Presentation silver plaque engraved “HOSKIER RIFLE/1927/WON BY/S. E. LAKE”. Breech of barrel stamped at the top behind the hand guard “REGULATED/BY FULTON”. Brilliant condition with 99% commercial blue. Highly articulated Parker Hale Model 5 rear sight and Parker Hale front sight with cover. Super wood with all the varnish. Mint bore. All original and superior in every respect. The Hoskier Rifle was awarded annually for a match put on by the the Stock Exchange Gun Club of London.

The ad contains several nice photos.

I have no commercial interest in this rifle.

I agree - most of the items listed on that site seem to be marked high.

Thats even about four times the UK price for a decent SRb MkIII.

A saying about charging wounded bulls comes to mind.

The extra strap over the front handguard is an interesting addition I haven't seen before.

Its normal on most target-prepared No1s. This rifle will have cork sheet or pads - or even small springs - between the handguard and the barrel. Without a strong extra band, the handguard bends and warps under the pressure of the extra packing.
