Description:
This rifle is an Enfield SMLE No1 manufactured in 1905. To one side of the action is stamped Enfield 1905 and on the opposite side Westley Richards 14. I am told this indicates original manufacture in 1905 with conversion to a .22 calibre training rifle in 1914.
This rifle is fitted with volley sights and a fully adjustable rear leaf sight. Serial no's to the bolt, action and nose cap all match.
As you might expect with a rifle of this age, the stock is not perfect with many small marks and indentations. All of the woodwork matches and is consistent with the date of manufacture. The barrel is also not perfect with some light marking to the bore. This rifle shoots well although the last time I fired it the extractor was occasionally not functioning properly and some adjustment may be required to fix this.
Overall condition of this rifle having regard to it's age and usage as a training rifle I would rate as fair to good.
