Actually, a 1915 BSA Lee Enfield No1 MkIII*
Price: $325 + Shipping
- Originally purchased from Jean @ P&S Militaria two or so years ago
- Rebarrelled by Ishapore, Ishapore mark on stock, no Ishy screw
- Matching reciever, bolt, etc..
- Very nice condition, and the former property of another CGN member who claims it's also a good shooter. I have never shot her.
...For the life of me I couldn't figure out what was special with this rifle when I put it up for sale, and I knew there was something (more than just the rather fresh barrel).
Well, as things would be (and as you will see from the photos) this is not actually a 1917 BSA MkIII*, but it is infact a 1915 BSA MkIII*.
Considering the MkIII* isn't supposed to have been built until 1916, it is a bit of a rarity - infact, although the volley sights have been deleted, it still has the windage adjustable rear sight from the Mk III (no *).
As you can see, everything matches (although it looks like the sight was force matched at some point?)...
