Hello Wheaty, I would dearly love to acquire a Lee-Enfield SMLE No 1 Mk III 303 Charger Bridge. This may not be quite copacetic in this fourm, however, I have a couple of these that my Dad bought for me when I was 14 from a surplus store. Took my first deer a week later with one Ala Natureal. A few years later I had the other sporterized with a real nice walnut Monte Carlo stock. I've taken deer, elk and bear plus the occasional coyote. Now comes the problem, I had real good eyes back then. Now I need a scope. Local gunsmith says that since the Charger Bridge has been removed, he can't mount one. So... I'd really like to get my hands on one if you have another you'd part with.

funny you should mention that as there is one on evil bay at the moment "RARE 1915 Lithgow No1 MkIII Charger Bridge .STAR Marked" still has 3 days to run.

Not so, there are mounts that go to the side of the receiver. You just have to search them on the internet... Products Archive - Addley Precision

Recently picked up a 1943 GRI to restore and I didnt notice it didnt have a charger bridge....I was more concerned that it would shoot well...what are the chances of finding one now, 10yrs after this thread was started? lol
