Lot Description
**Enfield S.M.L.E. MK. III
.303 British. 25.2" barrel length. SN: M6410. Blued metal finish with polished bolt body set in an oil finished Walnut semi-pistol grip stock with full length upper and lower handguards. Bolt-action repeating rifle fed by semi-detachable magazines charged with stripper clips, and featuring a magazine cutoff. Sights consist of an adjustable notch rear leaf and front blade with protectors. Right receiver displays the {Crown/GR} royal cipher followed by L.S.A. Co. I./1916, indicating it was made by the London Small Arms Company in 1916. Model marking reads SHT LE/III. Rifle shows standard British Army firing proof marks on the left receiver with scattered proofs and {Broad Arrow} markings to major components. Serial number match on most major components, but the bolt is nonmatching. Rifle mounts an unmarked khaki canvas sling with brass buckles, and contains a J.J.B. marked and British Army proofed brass oiler in the butt.
