.22 SMLE IV* training rifle

#1 Post by M41B »

Hi there, been thinking about selling my 22 SMLE training rifle.

It is all matching numbers (bolt, action, rear sight and muzzle) and has the solid rather than the sleeved barrel. It is all original but I have changed the rear stock as the one it came with is marked "B" which I believe to be the Bantam length. It was far too short so I swapped it over, I do still have the original one which I can obviously replace if needed. It is marked OCS which I was told is the officer cadet school but I do not claim to be an expert by any stretch of the immagination.

The side of the action is marked Enfield IV* and I think the date is 1921, it has the usual empty box mag (marked .22) and is a single shot. The empties simply fall into the box when ejected, much easier than those semi autos that throw them all over the place.

The bore looks pretty good and the overall condition I would say is excellent.

It shoots really well but I just dont seem to use it any more and seems a shame to leave it in the cabinet. I'm usually at Bisley at least once a month if anyone wants to have a look at it.

I will try and put some pictures on if anyone is interested and I can work out how to do it......

I'm looking for offers around £750.

Regards

MG
I enjoy my shooting but usually get a better group with the empty cases !!!!

You're very well trained for Badger, most of the ones I've seen snort and run about when they're excited!
