Circa 1947 ISHAPORE Short Magazine Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk. III Rifle C&R Made the Year of Indian Indpendence
Description: Circa 1947 ISHAPORE Short Magazine Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk. III Rifle C&R Made the Year of Indian Indpendence Here we present a Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE) No. 1 MK III Rifle, made circa 1947 at the Ishapore Rifle Factory, north of Calcutta. In 1904, a rifle factory was established by the British at Ichhapur, anglicized as Ishapore, and began production of the Lee–Enfield rifle, which has continued more or less until the mid-1980s, and possibly the present. The Lee-Enfield is a bolt-action, magazine fed, repeating rifle that served as the main firearm used by the military forces of the British Empire and Commonwealth during the first half of the 20th century. The British Army adopted the .303 Caliber SMLE No. 1 Mk III in 1904 and the Indian Army soon followed. The Ishapore Rifle Factory began manufacturing this weapon in 1909 using British machines and the same specifications followed by the Royal Small Arms Factory. At what must have been its production peak, Ishapore made 600,000 SMLE No. 1 rifles during World War II. The overall condition is rough, though functional. The action is strong. The bore is in very good condition. The stock has been shored up with a bolt between the magazine and the rear sight. There are two wide wraps of soldered copper wire. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Barrel is 25 inches. Caliber: .303 British Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING. Will need to be sent to your local FFL or C&R licensee. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $875 #215357 SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes |
