Remembered Today:

Unusual 1915 Enfield SMLE III but without cut off

I thought I would check out my Dad's enfield and found it to be quite unusual. Possibly another exception to the normal range of enfield options and types.

This example is a 1915 dated III but manufactured without cut off. Enfield introduced the cut off in 1916. The serial number is 'I 7392'. It has the earlier style round cocking piece also.

Also the barrel does not have any markings except deact stamp and logo/initials FBE or FFBF. Is this a commercial barrel?

It is a nice rifle that was deactivated in 1994, so not a usual bitsa rifle encountered nowadays.

Your thoughts on the enfield would be greatly received.

It would be nice to see a few pictures. Did you really mean to say that Enfield introduced the cut-off in 1916? It was a lot earlier than that!

This seems to have been double-posted and the other thread is the live one.
