I was cleaning this old SMLE No 1 Mk 3 today, and recalling that old saying regarding World War I rifles: "The Americans had the best target rifle, the Germans had the best hunting rifle, and the British had the best combat rifle". I'm sure that's open for debate, but this old SMLE just feels "right". This particular example was manufactured in 1911 at RSAF Enfield and FTR'd ("Factory Thorough Repair") in 1953. During overhaul, a buttstock and cocking piece from a No 4 rifle was added. All furniture was beech instead of the original walnut.

Any other Lee Enfield fanciers hereabouts?
