Lee Enfield SMLE MK111 Ishapore 1940 with mag cut-off and correct bayonetThis is a 1940 Ishapore made No 1 MK111 ( not a MK111*) with mag cutoff and period correct RFI stamped bayonet.
The hardware and wood set is good to excellent condition ( for an 84 year old rifle) and as far as I can tell, completely original from the factory.
Bolt, receiver, Barrel, rear sight and nose cap are all matching numbers. The magazine isn't matching numbers but is RFI stamped.
The bayonet is the short 12 inch "Indian Pattern" which I believe is a 1943 made bayonet.
There are some visible repairs to the butt stock, maybe field repairs or post military use - I don't know.
I can't make out the markings on the underside of the butt stock but it doesn't appear to be English or Latin script, possibly Punjabi, Bengali or Burmese.
The barrel is probably nearing the end of it's life but I have taken this rifle to the range numerous times and it shoots fine with pretty good accuracy at 100 yards.
I didn't really want to sell this one as it's a great historical piece, but I need to reduce the amount of Rifles and spare parts I have.
PAL required etc - let me know if you have any questions or want more photos. Collection from Summerland BC preferred but shipping/post can be arranged at buyers cost.
