N0 1 MK III I traded for.......

[ArizonaBeagle]

Yesterday I traded my nephew a Charter Arms .38 Special and ammo & stuff for a No1 Mk III
Made at Enfield in 1915 it is a wire wrapped grenade launcher.

I should have taken pictures before I started cleaning it with Murphy's Oil Soap.

The whole thing looked like the No1 photo.....Pure black all over.....


It has started to clean up nicely with a bit of elbow grease and a scrubby.....


It had this info on the buttstock along with a rack number.....#5

The really funny thing is, he told me I gave this to him for Christmas 20 years ago.
Of which I have no memory.

He shot it once and remembered that it was oozing cosmoline when heated up from firing.

I like it as it matches another wire wrapped Enfield that I have that is the most accurate rifle of 12-15 No 1 Mk III's that I own.
