How can you get a magazine or clip for 1917 bsa co 303 lee enfield rifle?

E-gunparts is where I'd look. I have ordered Enfield parts from them before, so they do carry them. Are you looking for a magizine or clips? They ARE NOT the same. A clip is a cheap disposible piece of sheet metal the holds 5 rounds and is used to load or "charge" the magizine. The magazine.is the ammunation resevour. You have a Short, Magizine, Lee Enfiled, Mark III. Under the bolt handle, the stock socket is stamped "Sht M.L.E. III*" After 1926, the Brits called this rifle the No.1 rifle. BEWARE - the magizines of the No.1 and No.'s 4/5 rifles ARE NOT interchangaable.The clips,however will work in all of the Lees.


Value of lee enfield smle 303?

The British Mark III .303 Caliber Short-Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE), used from World War One, World War Two, through 1956, and beyond in some nations is an extremely popular bolt-action rifle. It's popularity, in addition to whatever condition the rifle is in, dictates the price. Generally, they can start as low as US $300 for one in bad condition, to well over US $1,000. The original stamped markings will also help to set the price. The ones actually produced at RSAF-Enfield near London usually are favored. Supply and demand. You know the deal.


What is theValue of ShtLE Mk III made in 1916?

Known as the SMLE (Short, Magazine, Lee-Enfield) the value of your rifle will be based on condition and originality. A SMLE that has not been "sporterized", and is in its original configuration, if good condition, may sell for $150-$250 and up. You really need a "hands on" appraisal by a knowledgeable person- we can only do so much without seeing it.

What is the value of enfield No1 MK VI rifle?

i just picked one up for 150 at a local gun show:I doubt that. The No 1 Mk VI is a very rare variant of the Lee-Enfield rifle. Only a thousand of them were ever made. A No 1 Mk VI Enfield in original condition is worth thousands of dollars. If you got one of those for $150, you got a deal of a lifetime. More likely, you bought a common Enfield No 1 Mk III or No 4 Mk I.


You have an 1865 rifle made by the british small arms company you believe it was a knock off for the enfield mark iii it is completely opperational you need to know what it is worth?

Well, I believe it is BIRMINGHAM Small Arms Company- and if it is an 1865 rifle, it could not be a copy of the Enfield Mark III, which was introduced in 1907. BSA did make a model 1865 Musket, and there are reproductions of those, along with the 3 band Enfield Musket. If you have an original, value will be based on condition, exact model, etc, but could be anywhere from $200 to several thousand $$$. REPRODUCTIONS sell for about $400-800, depending on quality.

How do you tell age of 303 enfield rifle?

By configuration and markings You can get an approximate year range by observing the Model and Type of Enfield. The No.1 Mk III was made from around 1907 to 1944, while the No. 4 Mk1 was made from 1939 to 1956. Further narrowing can be done by observing which of the manufacturers made the rifle. There are numerous collector books and magazines relating to this subject.

What design of rifle was used by the diggers in World War I?

They used the British Lee Enfield SMLE Mk III in .303 caliber. For a bolt-action rifle it was capable of being fired very quickly, although it was not as powerful as its opponent, the Mauser 98 rifle used by the Germans and Turks. [The Canadians in World War 1 were less fortunate than the diggers, using their own rifle called the Ross which was not as good.] The Lee Enfield was also standard issue to British and Commonwealth armies in World War 2, Korea, and Malaysia.


Where can you find a scope mount for an enfield Australian jungle carbine 308 caliber?

Are you sure it is of Australian make? No. 5 Jungle Carbines were only made in the UK. If your receiver says Australia on it, what you have is most likely a Lee Enfield no 1 Mk III Lithgow rifle, and I would be hesitant to fire it if it is indeed in 308 Winchester. The action is not as strong as the later Enfield rifles and the pressure limits of 308 Win are significanly higher than those of the .303 British cartridge. In fact, when India began building their Ishapore 7.62 rifles, they found the No 1 Mk III action completely unsatisfactory, and even had to improve the metallurgy of their No 4 rifles. To answer your question on the scope mount...You need to identify the firearm and assess it's safety first, by bringing it to a competant gunsmith. Afterward, you should google the mount. Many websites offer them for sale.
