In very good combat carried in 2 world wars been there done that condition, we have an Impossible to find, straight up original all matching and never reworked or rebuilt,  1917 Enfield  No1 MkIII∗ Short Model Lee Enfield Rifle.  This is a so called “Peddled Scheme” Rifle with the receiver being made by the firm Standard Small Arms and shipped to Enfield for assembly.  The bore is excellent and the stock cartouches are viable and clear.  what makes this so desirable is the fact that this rifle is exactly as it was carried in WWI, as you probably are aware of the Brits rebuilt and reworked the hell out of almost every gun in the arsenals but this one is still 100% straight up 1917 WWI, just like the movie!

The SMLE is certainly Legendary;  it was the most highly regarded and effective service rifle of the Great War with a butter smooth action, 10 shot magazine and short handy length.  It was in service during WW2 and it is considered to be the classic British Battle Rifle of the early war era at places such as Dunkirk and the deserts of North Africa and even Burma.  Finding an example that has not been reworked a half a dozen times is no easy task, in fact that makes this rifle an extreme rarity.
