Lee-Enfield Rifles

British 1918 BSA&co No1 MkIII rifle with a Sanderson manufactured Pattern 1907 bayonet. Upon closer observation recently I observed the National Rifle Factory markings on the reciever next to the cocking handle. Making this a NRF reciever assembled in 1918 by the Birmingham Small Arms Co.

British firearm history can be very interesting to collect. I have been concentrating on the No1 MkIII /* rifles and No4 MkI and MkII rifles.  I recently finished collecting an example of each manufacturer of the No1 MkIII rifle including the peddled scheme rifles. Follow the link to the No1 page to see some of the various identification marks found.  The No4 Rifles are still readily available and priced quite attractively. They are a fine firearm for the money and can be very accurate shooters. Also of interest below are the links to the Baker rifle. This was the first rifle adopted by the British Army. It was used to some degree in the Peninsular war against Napoleon. It's adoption would forever change the face of battle, individual marksmanship of riflemen would play a greater role in the landscape of the battlefield.
