Hoping to get some info on a rifle I acquired a while back. Its an SMLE Mk1*** dated 1903, with additional date stamps of '04, '05, '06 and '07 on the wrist band. Bore looks great, seems to be all there as far as original equipment except that the mag cut-off has been removed. Also appears that it has been refinished by either an arsenal or a previous owner. Have read that there were less than 1,000 of these made in '03 but not much else.

Can't find any others like it listed anywhere, was wondering what the value of something like this would be. Also, is it safe to shoot mil-surp .303 ammo in it?

Appreciate any & all comments. Thanks, --728shooter
