Shows the typical sign of sitting in a rack unloved, as the last inch of the bore is not that easy on the eye. the 'Rifle, No.3' in British service is also a Winchester. Skennerton has a good book on the P14/M1917 series.'The US Enfield'.worth tracking down a copy She never went back to New Zealand and remained in the UK.Дў5Pdr wrote:Some markings on stock, any idea anyone?ДЄye - the standard WINCHESTER/PATTERN 14 cartouche

This rifle seems to have dropped off the back of a lorry during or shortly after WW1, no evidence of post WW1 use anyway. What makes her a very interesting rifle to me is the fact she still has her NZ service rack number on receiver ring, after doing some research with NZ base collectors, this appears to be a quite unique survivor, as all rack numbers were removed prior to sale with the S-S sold out of service makes applied in there place. She bares evidence of many contemporary WW1 repairs, small sections of wood inletted into the forend (battlefield damage perhaps), but nothing post WW1.

She is a 1917 dated No1 mk3*, in many respects a very typical late WW1 rifle with the transitional dished forend and blanked butt id disc.ДЄs far as I can tell, she has a full set of original components including her 1916 dated barrel, woodwork and late WW1 ribbed cocking piece, correct wide piling swivel and finished with a nice Cole Brothers LTD 1916 dated leather sling! 305 today, but still groups pretty well and like all SMLE's, an absolute delight to shoot. I will kick things off, this is my pride and joy, all original ANZAC issued Enfield, she gauges. After seeing Adams stunning 1913 dated SMLE, now beautifully re-barrelled for another 100 years of use by David, it got me thinking.just how many of us have original (as built) WW1 dated service rifles, still in shooting order?
