No.I Mk.V's?

More questions. Are No.I Mk.V Lee Enfields common? What is a ball park figure as to price. Any critiques of these beautiful rifles?

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.

These rifles are not common. Remember, only 20 odd thousand were made over 80 years ago. There was a batch sold surplus in the 1960s. I have not seen one sell for a long time, so cannot advise you about value.

Last one I saw sell in Canada icon

was about 5 years ago, mismatched bolt, went for about $500. They would bring more today.

Well, we have an "all correct" beautiful one of these to prepare an entry to bring on-line in the MKL icon

, it's just finding the time for the photography and supporting materials....

I intended to work up a set of photos of mine and submit it here but if you have one I’ll hold of as your photography is of a much higher quality than mine. I will say that mine is in much better shape than the above example.

This is the closest I've been to a MkV

I wish I had one in my collection.

Hi.here is a pic of my 1924 MK V.It is a "restored" example with replaced wood but all metal parts match and has all correct MKV parts,like rear site ,safety,mag cutoff and front band.It has an indian S/l\A mark.So I guess it was refurbished in Indian at some time,but no ishy screw.The stock is proofed in several places with S/40
The person I bought this one from had another all origional one but was in rough shape and the price was higher.
One of my favorite enfields!
