.303 MAGAZINE LEE-ENFIELD RIFLE For Sale

$1,800.00

The .303 Magazine Lee-Enfield Rifle, introduced in 1895, is a significant early bolt-action military rifle, well-regarded for its innovative design and durability. It features a unique 5-groove Enfield rifling tailored for cordite powder loads and an emphasis on safety with a catch on the cocking piece. The rifle evolved through several versions including the Marks I and I*, the latter lacking a cleaning rod provision due to feedback and logistical decisions. Rifles with original cleaning rods are now rare collector’s items. Produced by prominent British armories such as Enfield, B.S.A., L.S.A., and Sparkbrook, the rifle was also maintained by the Ishapore Rifle Factory. The .303 Lee-Enfield remains celebrated for its robust engineering and significant historical military role.
