    Howdy Folks, I just acquired this 1918 Lithgow No I Mk III* marked to the Second Military District. Overall pretty solid, good finish on the barrel and action and good bore despite what may be a rusty barrel star on the knox. The nose cap, action, and bolt all match, except the cocking piece...

    So I live out at an old mine in the Mohave desert and just for nostalgia’s sake I took an old 1916 #1Mk3 out for some shooting on my desert range the other day. And it felt great! Let’s shoot today. Enfield #1mk3 (SMLE)

    Hi everyone, I recently bought a 1916 BSA SMLE mk3* Canadian marked. Upon further inspection I found some weird markings on the back of the receiver (first photo), they look like several '0' stamps, I'd never seen them before. Does anybody know what they mean? I'm also posting other photos to...

    Hey guys, Ran into a 1940 No1 mk3* Lithgow at the LGS today. Looks to be FTR’d in 1951. Only thing that was interesting was the mismatched bolt- which looks like it came from an earlier no1 mk3 as it had the early cocking piece. My question is- were any Enfields factory refurbished and received...

    Hi All. I have recently come into possession of no.4 Central aperture sight from a work friend. It appears to have the mounting plate for a No.4 rifle. My issue is that I have a No.1 mk III. I assume that the mounting plates are not interchangeable as I was not able to mount it, granted I'm no...

    I've seen some SMLEs produced in Britain or Australia with a copper ring on the side of their butt stocks. Does the ring have any special meanings, such as the tag of some particular armories, or the notice of some particular armies?

    Hello, Fairly new to owning guns myself but grew up around them. My dad recently gave me 2 303 rifles. One is a 1917 and the other is a 1918. I am wondering about all the markings on the 1918. I have attached pictures of it here. I am also wondering if the serial number is 488? Is this a fairly...

    I just purchased a 1917 Lithgow No. 1 Mk III recently with a few missing parts. My goal is to make it as original as possible thus the request for additional input from the experts. 1) What parts would be stamped to show they were manufactured at Lithgow? 2) Are there any part types/variations...
