    Princess Elizabeth Shooting Lee Enfields



    Is Princess Elizabeth (if that is really her) shooting a Fultonised No.1 Mk 3? It has an extra band in the front so it seems. Also, what sight is she likely shooting with?





    Here is another one of Princess Elizabeth, shooting what appears to be a Long Lee?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Just hope that it hasn´t affected her hearing as it obviously has mine (shooting without the Mickey Mouse ear muffs)

    The rifle on the last pic is a bit odd.

    Mk1 SMLE rear sight and rear handguard, but no sign of the Mk1 bolt head or body mods for the charger setup. Range Special "bitza"?.

    And it has some sort of "tag" attached as well.

    Any thoughts?

    The odd long lee is the converted .22 caliber Naval version. The whole picture would show them shooting from the deck of the (I believe) the Royal Yatch.
