British No.1 Mk III Lee-Enfield
Rifle, SMLE
Adopted by the British Military
on January 26, 1907.
Adapted from an original design
by James Paris Lee and the Royal Arms Factory
at Enfield, England.
Mk III refers to the third incarnation of
the No.1 rifle.
This rifle was also
manufactured in Australia and India. The Mk III was used in
both WWI and WW2.
Probably one of the fastest
cycling bolt action rifles made for military use. The
rifle pictured above was manufactured in 1941, in England, but
also has Australian markings on the
receiver.
