I saw this rifle on Gun Broker:

Enfield MKIII SMLE Sniper Rifle w/Cheek & Scope Pc : Semi-auto at GunBroker.com

Can any of you tell me about it?

Thanks,

Steve

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.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

i don't know much, but i know it's not a Mk.III. it's a No.4 Mk.1(?). and it has an Ishy screw in it. looks like it went to India at some point. i doubt it's all original, especially because it says F.T.R. (Factory Thorough Repair) below the year

like i said though, Enfields aren't my specialty.

It is mix and matched for sure.

I'm mainly after that scope and mount!

Just please don't re-renumber the bracket if you get it!

Same Indian(?) FTR mark as RobD's rifle. The rifle looks OK, what we can see of it.

It is pretty obvious that the vendor doesn't have a clue about these rifles and so anything and everything in the description should be taken with a pinch of salt. I would not buy it sight unseen.
