1917 "Enfield" Lee Enfield

[bch1988]

I'll give you five bucks for it, and I'll even cover shipping.

My bitser MkIII cost about $125 in 2000; at the show I bought it from, an all-matching MkIII* next to it was selling for $250. Not that that reflects any kind of current value, of course.

Fantastic rifles at any price, IMO. The SMLE platform is my favorite kind of firearm. And if they look somewhat brutal, that's because they're made for killing people, not looking good at hunting camp.

I've never understood the visual hate on the mk3. I honestly think mine is beautiful. Any any doubts disappear when I shoot it.

Love. These. Guns.

Miss my all matching 1918 BSA; cost me $100 in 1995.

I've always wanted a SMLE, I'd like both a No1 Mk III and a No4 Mk II. The forend is kinda fugly but the rest of the rifle is pure beauty.

Shawn.. post them to this board on a new topic with lots of pics. I and others will be happy to help you get ball park figures. The other way is to search ended auctions on the auction sights for ones like yours and see what those have sold for. But there are a lot of variations that will make a difference.
