Long Lee Enfields at SOG

[Flyboy73]

SOG in there october flyier have about 30 Long lee enfield and couple of lee metford rifle listed.

They run around 600-700$

Most are MLE mk1's and some CLLE models. Not sure what model the CLLE is, so if anyone could clue me in I would appreciate it.

I talked to them and they don't have them in yet. But are taking orders for individaul rifles as listed in the flyer.

Are these prices in line? What are the Long lee's going for these days?

CLLE = Charger Loading Lee Enfield.

The Magazine Lee Enfield was not designed for loading via chargers (stripper clips) but this was soon discovered to be a disadvantage when they went up against the Mausers used by the Boers. The CLLE was the result, with a charger bridge (retro)fitted to the receiver. These generally date from about 1903 and for a few years thereafter, though on rifles originally made earlier as MLEs or even MLMs, and were a bit of a stop-gap as the first SMLEs were entering service.
