Now we are all familiar with the legendary SMLE (Short, magazine, Lee Enfield) but not so many know of the rifle it was developed from - the Lee Metford/Enfield series also known as the Long Lee (as it was largly 6" longer than the SMLE - the "short" part of the name...). These are very rare rifles to come accross being pre war.
Blimey, now we are all used to seeing No4 Skeleton cutaways trainers but this is a first for us - a Long Lee with full (and we mean FULL) skeleton cutaway work so you can see every moving part in section - beautifully done engineering work, strips, cocks and dry fires and comes with a handfull of training shells as well - granb this one while you can as I doubt we`ll ever have another...

The Long Lee Enfield - the first really recognisable modern bolt action rifle, it was the replacement for the Martini .577, offering 10 .303 rounds in the detachable mag, though they were usually loaded by stripper clip from the top. This one is made by BSA (Birmingham Small Arms) and undated but the features out it at 1900 and the butt plate is marked if you want to sit down with a couple of reference books you could figure out its history. The rifle is excellent original condition and even retains its bolt shield (for keeping out dirt), great period woodwork and good finish to the metalwork and it has its front volley sight intact but has lost its rear. As you would expect it strips, cocks and dry fires and comes complete with deactivation certificate.
