1917 Lee Enfield SMLE No1 Mk 3
This is my second Enfield and the oldest of my milsurp collection.
Out the door for 109.00, no rust, metal still looks solid, though the bands around the barrel are in need of painting. The stock is not cracked at all but is greasy with cosmoline and in need of a refinish. I will begin that this weekend.
I should still be ok with modern ammo, correct? The bore is shiny and I can see no signs of stress to the chamber, bolt, or mag assembly.
Was this a good deal?
