After WW2 Drill Purpose Only rifles were made from de-commissioned parts of WW2 No 4 .303 calibre rifles and issued to Army, Navy & Air Force recruits and cadets for training. The weapons were issued a new model number L59A1 (see page 431 of the Lee Enfield Story by Skennerton). This is a deactivated near mint example of the L59A1 drill rifle. Most of the L59A1 rifles that have been available to collectors have been in very poor condition due to their drill use however this rifle is exceptional, the metal and wood both being excellent. It is crisply marked with the model designation ‘Drill Rifle L59A1’ at the breech (illustrated) and number 30719. The grip strap has some original No 4 rifle markings consisting of WD arrow mark,1944 date & WW2 maker code M47/C (BSA Shirley). The rifle has the correct winged foresight and flip up MK II marked rear sight which incorporates a peep sight. The rifle has a bayonet lug and sling swivels fitted with original webbing sling. The L59A1 makes an excellent demonstration rifle. Deactivated to UK/ EU specification in 2024 the rifles bolt and trigger move and the magazine can be removed. The price for this scarce military training rifle in near mint condition includes deactivation certificate & UK delivery. D 1502
