Have a look at this auction on Gunbroker, item 172181916.
The seller says "This one was imported from Pakistan But is Not a Khyber Pass rifle ... "Has some flaws ... Dated 1904"....

Then I had a look at his other auctions and realised this is a one-man epidemic

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. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Yeah, look at their whole collection of Enfields. Funny that they advertise some as Khyber Pass rifles and some as 'non-shooter' only. I guess that they are just covering their bases.

"Imported with a group of rifles from Pakistan but appears to be an original Ishapore Indian Enfield that has been "customized by indigenous personnel", hence we are selling this as a NON shooter, a Wall Hanger, for parts or display purposes only." -172122260

Oh, boy, I JUST CAN'T WAIT for the "1941 Long Branch" I bought from them lol. I will be posting pics for dissection by forum members. I only found out about their reputation after I won the auction. Bugger :P

They have a website that looks legit? I know of no one who has dealt with them, though.

Unless you live in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan or the other side of the pass.

You have a very, very dry sense of humour; had me worried there for a second
