Hi everyone, My father just got a rifle from a friend that resently passed. He has since gave it to me and ive taken on the quest to finding out the story of this rifle.

Its a working condition 1943 British Lee Enfield No.1 Mk3.

Does anyone know abot decoding these rifles? or somewhere I can find a registry?

thanks.

As Weatherman has shown, there is a wealth of information out on the net.

What you now possess is a great 'mantle piece' weapon! While it's still very likely in firing condition, I would reckomend against doing so until you have a armorer certify it safe to fire. A good gunsmith can do this.

I usta have a 'sporterized' Enfield:



Scary shooting...always had leftover ammo...

Sork for you loss weatherman... Ive got a SMLE #1 MK4 and it kiks @$$

I've got a B.S.A. made 1915 No1, Mk.III shoots sweet & has a windage adjustable rear sight(most later versions are only elevation adj.

hey i have nothin about the rifle, but sorry about your loss.
