[Badger]

Here's a good one to start with........

Feedback and comments anyone?

ZEFARM Item no. 2116 - Australian LEE-ENFIELD SMLE SNIPER RIFLE (click here)

Offered here is a scarcely encountered Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mark III Sniper Rifle manufactured at Lithgow Arsenal, Australia dated 1916. Serial number is 45081 this is one of 1612 of these rifles converted at the Lithgow facility in 1945-1946. The serial numbers are listed in the Lee-Enfield Story...there are 24 listed in the 45xxx range, and this is because armourers sought out 1914-1916 Lithgow actions for the conversions. Features include a 25 inch ( 640mm ) Heavy Sniper barrel with original scope bases, 10 shot detachable magazine and leather sling. Finish is grey-green parkerized, barrel, fore-stock and buttstock are correctly stamped with the letter "H" signifying the heavy barrel configuration ( fore-stock has a deeper-wider channel to accomodate the larger diameter heavy barrel ) rifle bolt and magazine are serial numbered differently from the receiver, nose cap is un-numbered. Overall condition is very good, bore is dark but shows strong rifling. Non-Restricted class firearm.

Price $650.00 CAD
