BSA Lee Enfield SMLE Mk III – 1917 – Old Spec Deactivated

A fantastic example of a BSA-manufactured Lee Enfield dated 1917 in very good overall condition for its age. This is an original old-spec deactivation, meaning it retains full moving functionality and is far more desirable than modern-spec deacts.

Features:

* Old spec deactivation

* Bolt cycles correctly

* Will strip, cock and dry fire

* Original woodwork with good colour and character

* Magazine present

* Strong markings and nice overall patina

* Dated 1917

* BSA manufacture

These early old-spec SMLEs are becoming increasingly difficult to find, especially examples that still retain full mechanical movement and have not been heavily refinished. A great piece for collectors, display, reenactment, or as an investment item given how values continue to rise.

Condition is very good overall with age-related marks as expected from a rifle over 100 years - Click to reveal - sale only in accordance with current deactivation laws. Deactivation certificate included if applicable.

You could also add at the end:

Sensibly priced due to increasing rarity of old-spec deacts.

Or if you want it sounding more premium:

An increasingly scarce collector’s piece with excellent investment potential.
