Guest Peter Cresswell Posted 13 March , 2003 Share Posted 13 March , 2003 Could some one help me with a query? How much did the Lee Enfield rifle weigh? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Lines Posted 13 March , 2003 Share Posted 13 March , 2003 Peter Just weighed my SMLE on our not very accurate bathroom scales and it came out at just over 8 lbs with sling, but no ammunition or bayonet. (seem to remember it should be around 9lbs though?) My unsheathed bayonet weighed in more accurately at 1lb 2 oz. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
