    1916 MKIII*

    The newest addition a 1916 MKIII* that is in excellent condition. Wood has some dings and the metal is excellent showing very little wear. Perfect bore and have my doubts it saw any action.

    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

    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.

    That is rather beautiful, congratulations!

    Is there a unit or marking to the butt disc, or is it plain?

    No marking at all on the stock disc.

    The condition of the metal is rather surprising as it doesn't have any indication of being a refurb and the wood appears to have dings from just being handled many times. The 200 rounds were a bonus, a good friend bought it at a show a couple weeks ago knowing I would want it. He made a few bucks on it which I have no problem with. The seller was the same person that sold me the No4 I posted a week ago.

    Lumby, small show but good people in that area so worth attending. I saw the gun but my friend had spoken for it, knowing I would take it. He has sold/found me some nice Lee Enfields over the years, mind you I gave him a pretty nice Caravan for a Savage Lee Enfield a few years ago. He needed a vehicle and I could help so did, he drove it well over 100,000 km before selling it for a grand.

    He is a good guy and always gives me first refusal on anything he knows I might be interested in.
