A closer look at my 1917/1944 Lee Enfield No1 MkIII* H.T. (Aust) sniper rifle. This is the first in series of videos giving a closer look at my rifles.
I have a question. I've seen a SMLE No1 MkIII with 2 holes drilled in a straight line (with an imprint line into the wood of something mounted on it) in the woordwork behind the rear sight aperature, above the chamber. Was this standard on a SMLE or signs of a modification? Been looking for WWI era sniper rifles to check the scope mounting (if any) but no luck so far. It's a 1911 BSA with a WW2 bolt (firing pin safety is a flat not a round one).
Hey Jolly, I have an Ishapore No1 Mk 3 that I just got two days ago ( first Lee Enfield ) and the bolt seems to be a bit hard to cock ( or the last bit of travel in the bolt that cocks the rifle is difficult. also she doesn't feed very nicely :( do you know why this might be? thanks for your help.
