    Lee Enfield Rifle

    Greetings,

    I have this beat up Lee Enfield Rifleicon, which I think is a no 1 MK III short magazine. I was wondering if there was any value to it and if I could try to sell it as it is not welcome anymore in the house(long story...).

    Also, I was curious as to when this could have been used, World War I, World War II, neither, etc?

    Here the pics I have taken of the rifle in question.







    Thanks

    JN

    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.

    Sporterized (wood cut down,parts missing) SMLE. Not much value but there are lots of Enfield fans in the great white north here that would be willing to take it on as a project as the barrel does not appear to be cut which may make it restoreable depending on overall condition.

    I was hoping for a 100$ do you think it would be too much?

    I would prpbably pay a bit more but I am a sucker for shelter pets. Gun show is your best bet. Do they have gunshows in Canadaicon?
