Manufacturer: Century Arms International Type: Rifle Model: MK3 Caliber: .303 British Barrel Length: 25" Optics: N/A ATF Form 4473 Required: Yes Log: 3280 S/N: 59668 Ref #: N/A Notes: This rifle is a Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk III–pattern bolt-action rifle chambered in .303 British and imported by Century Arms International. The No.1 Mk III, commonly referred to as the Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE), was adopted by the British Army in 1907 and served as the standard infantry rifle of the British Empire through the First World War and into the Second World War. Production year range: Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk III and Mk III* rifles were manufactured approximately from 1907 through 1945 by multiple arsenals and contracted manufacturers across the United Kingdom and Commonwealth. Without visible receiver manufacturer markings or dated inspection stamps, the serial number does not allow a more precise year of manufacture to be determined within that range. The rifle retains its standard 25-inch barrel, with an overall length of approximately 44 inches and a weight of approximately 8.5 pounds unloaded. It operates via a rear-locking bolt-action system and utilizes a fixed 10-round detachable box magazine intended for loading with stripper clips. Sighting equipment consists of military iron sights, including a protected front blade and a rear sight graduated for extended service distances. Condition is good, with wear consistent with military service and long-term storage. The metal surfaces show expected handling wear, the bore shows visible rifling, and the action cycles correctly with solid lockup.
