Its been quiet in here lately so I figured I would post a new aquisition from a recent auction.  Have you ever wondered what a 1917 Enfield SMLE looks like brand new?  Well I picked this up for cheaper than a Mosin and it hasn't even had a screw turned on it.  There is a little wear on the high spots like the bolt knob and rear sight wings, but heck for 100 years old I cannot complain too much.  Sometime in its life it was issued to Canada, but it isnt import marked.  The bore is like the day it was made, and there isn't even wear on the magazine from either rounds or the bolt being cycled. 

 

I know somebody who would go nuts over that - he's quite the authority on "smellys"

There were a ton of them yesterday, all went cheap.  I picked up a Winchester P14 in similar condition, an unissued Savage no4, and a real oddity a Steyr 95/24 in 8mm mauser.  I cant understand what is going on in the gunworld, everything is cheap lately. 

Wow nice looking rifle. Whats the weight of that rifle 

WOW
