BSA Lee-Enfield Mk. I (QLD)

.303 British

Description

A Lee-Enfield Mk. I rifle manufactured by the Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA) in 1900. The right-hand side of the receiver beneath the bolt bears the royal cypher of Queen Victoria, with the text "V.R. Enfield 1900 L.E. 1*" beneath it. This rifle appears to have been issued in Queensland, with the top of the receiver bearing the text "QG," the inventory number 1262, and an "S" indicating it was later sold out of service likely prior to the arrival of the later Short Magazine Lee-Enfield. There are multiple issue-dates and inventory numbers stamped into the right-hand side of the butt-stock, but they are too faint to decipher definitively. This rifle still retains its dust cover, magazine cut-off, and volley sights. It also has a commercial nitro-proofed barrel courtesy of W.W. Greener. As such, the barrel is stamped with the text "W.W. Greener Birmingham" written in front of the rear sight block. Condition:  Very Good Bore:  6/10 Sights:  Open and Volley Year of Manufacture:  1900 Magazine Capacity:  10 Matching Numbers:  No Serial Number:  A13033
