Refurbed No1Mk3*

**louthepou** · 02-07-2010 07:29 AM

Hi everyone,

Well it's been a few months since I worked at refurbing a No1Mk3; I have been slowed down by an Enfield P14 and other rifles like that. So I have to pick up the pace again

This one is an Enfield-built, 1917-dated No1Mk3*. Got it last year as a barreled action with trigger guard. I've been working on it for the past month.

Most parts are from Springfield Sporters. Too bad they decided not to ship outside the US now...

Hope it'll behave decently at the range,

Lou

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.

Another first class job Lou

Leaving the edge wear on the metal bits keeps that "experienced" look that's kind of comforting.

**loosenuts** · 02-15-2010 07:24 AM

Looks very nice. I just traded off my '16 BSA and I'm sure I'll miss 'er!

A few more pics, this time of a 1941 Lithgow icon

-made SMLE. Same story as the 1917 at the top of this thread, give or take. I like the wood grain on the forend and front handguard. Yes there's still snow on the ground.

Hi Lou,

a fine rifle indeed, but i think i`ll have the much nicer background to make pics of the rifles. So pack the rifles and come to the photoshooting at here.
No bad thoughts...

Regards

Gunner

Well there is one thing that is German icon

in the last picture, but it was kind of... busy when I took the picture. You can see there's one of my German Shorthaired Pointers doing its business. Probably not happy that the rifle isn't a Mauser.
