    I ask; because if it's officially a military trainer sight; it should be legal in the Service Rifle trainer class. That would be excellent!
    Yes the sight was used during WWII for training to give a more "No4-ish" sight picture.

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Ovidio, did you get that No.1? Our Covid restrictions here are non-existent by comparison. I have sealed the deal on this one with a deposit and they will ship it to my FFL for free and reduced the price to $625. Wonderful can`t wait to receive it. This will be my first trainer from any nation. My Nephew who helped broker the deal says the bore looks great and i trust his opinions. He also was given A STORE CREDIT FOR BROKERING THE DEAL. Now that is how Capitalism should work! God Bless us All.

    I had my very first run in with an idiot in this world of ours. I called him 5 minutes after he put the gun on sale and told him I was willing to pay for it in advance in case the lock-down prevented me to go. I called him after one day to confirm I couldn’t go, but would pay for the gun, and he told me he promised it to another guy and would check the cronology of our calls.
    He told me I was the first to show up when I first called...
    Well, I wouldn’t give my honestly earned money to that bugger even if he halved the price.
    But I’m sorry. I wanted that pea shooter...

    You have lead a very sheltered life my friend if you have been lucky enough to just experience your first idiot in this world of ours. LOL Too bad about that one. Some people can`t be figured out, and some aren`t worth trying to. Yeah i would be very wary about entering into any kind of deal with a questionable seller.

    When you behave correctly, good things just happen - Reward

    I got “cheated” by a poor idiot. That happened because, a couple days earlier, I called another guy for a pristine K31icon I wanted to buy and fit with a scope.
    After 24 hours this guy called me ad asked if he could give that rifle to another person, who called and offered to buy that one and another he was selling. But only in bundle. I told him to go ahead. If he could get two sold, then I didn’t feel like standing in the way.
    He thanked and told me he would send me info about other rifles he wants to sell.
    I got his mail, and among others, he was selling a No.1 trainer. Original version.
    I asked him if he could make me the same price of the other I missed out on, and he said that, since I made him do the other business, he accepted to come down to the price I told him.
    It looks good enough to me. Any comments from more expert ones?
    I’m happy, he’s happy. And we were both correct.
    That’s what I expect among people sharing a passion.
    Money is a means to a goal, but the goal, once achieved, has also to taste well...

    That's a great result Ovidio.
    These are so much fun to shoot; it'll definitely put a smile on your face!

    I must be being very stupid but I cannot see any markings to show it is a 22 trainer.

    The original III* markings would have been lined thru' and .22 and (maybe) No2 MkIV* would have been added.

    Are there any 22 markings on the rifle ?
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    I’ll have to look personally. But the rifle looks good to me.

    If it was a miltary conversion it would normally look like this (but never say 'never', and never say, 'always' with Enfields)

    Parker-Hale, AJ Parkers, & probably others in the trade used to offer a service to convert your SMLE to .22RF & many were done this way. The original markings on the few I can remember were left untouched, so it could possibly be a civvy conversion. I have a BSA 1918 SMLE done by Parker Hale.
