new movie "1917"

[RCS]

With the new movie "1917" out, there will be a renewed interest in the Lee Enfield No 1 Mark 3 rifle. Being introduced to the UK in 1907 it was used for a long time. Early pre WW1 rifles are difficult to find with all matching numbers : bolt, rear sight, barrel, nose cap and fore-end. My example in these photos is a BSA Co 1909 with a exc matching '09 barrel and working windage rear sight plus the long range volley sights. Often called the best bolt action of WW1

I have a 1965 Ishapore 308 SMLE NO 1 MKIII. Right now it’s in the Smithy’s shops getting her chamber reamed because the new barrel that came with her (she’s a project) wasn’t finished reamed. Oh well. I love Enfield’s. Best combat bolt gun if you ask me.
