Enfield marked rifle

**303 Collector** · 07-07-2016 03:07 PM

I have just found an Enfield manufactured rifle dated 1927 with a three digit serial number.
The markings on the butt socket are the same as a normal military Mk111* but with the 1927 date.
It has been heavily sporterized with a replacement 9/43 dated barrel.
I have never seen a 1927 Enfield made rifle before and can find nothing about Enfield's of this date on the web or this forum. It is not a Ishapore rework.
Can anyone help.

I don't have the rifle at the moment, going to pick it up over the weekend so photos to follow.

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.

I don't recall ever seeing one of that vintage before. Looking forward to pictures. The dating scheme on the barrel sounds Aussie to me, with the month and year.

I had a 1929 dated SMLE from Enfield; the rifle was numbered to match the barrel, which was WW1 vintage.
Got rid of it because of a Keedysville pedigree.
