BSA 1918 SMLE STH.LE III no star.303 For Sale

#1 Post by bnz41 »

BSA.Co SMLESTH.LE III 1918
Matching serial numbers on receiver/bolt/nose cap. Rifle was re proofed in 2002 at the London Proof house. Excellent bore and a very accurate .303. Receiver also stamped crossed rifles with letters SA. I bought the rifle in 2003 but has not had much use over the years. Rifle bolt fitted with round cocking piece, mag cut off, windage adjustable rear sight, new foresight to correct the point of aim, stacking swivel, RAF blue sling, with a rare BSA brass oil bottle and pull through stored under the brass butt plate, no brass disc on butt, excellent walnut wood almost unmarked and matching to the rifle.
Rifle does not get used much now, only used once this year so far 10 rounds fired, so it needs to find a new home. Once fired HXP brass included.
Was used last in November 2018 in The Armistice Commemoration Match in which it won a silver medal, I was not firing it though, loaned out.

The rifle has a November 1918 dated Stamped RAF bayonet which could be included in the sale or purchased seperatly.
Rifle on it's own £950 With Bayonet £1150
Bayonet £200
