    Princess Elizabeth Shooting Lee Enfields



    Is Princess Elizabeth (if that is really her) shooting a Fultonised No.1 Mk 3? It has an extra band in the front so it seems. Also, what sight is she likely shooting with?





    Here is another one of Princess Elizabeth, shooting what appears to be a Long Lee?

    Just hope that it hasn´t affected her hearing as it obviously has mine (shooting without the Mickey Mouse ear muffs)

    The rifle on the last pic is a bit odd.

    Mk1 SMLE rear sight and rear handguard, but no sign of the Mk1 bolt head or body mods for the charger setup. Range Special "bitza"?.

    And it has some sort of "tag" attached as well.

    Any thoughts?

    The odd long lee is the converted .22 caliber Naval version. The whole picture would show them shooting from the deck of the (I believe) the Royal Yatch.

    The Royal Yacht as in HMS Vanguard. I believe the second picture might be taken during the Royal tour to South Africa.
