I purchased this rifle from another INGO member for the purpose of restoring it to original condition. It is a 1918 SHTLE No 1 Mk 111* LSA which was sporterized at some point. I am not an expert on Enfield rifles but I thought I would share the before and after pictures. The rifle still lacks the rear sight protector and upper rear hand guard which I have ordered from Numrich gun parts. I borrowed the before picture from the sellers ad. I hope that's ok.
The rifle is a good shooter and has a nice shiny bore. The new (used) military stock is less than perfect like most old Enfield stocks.
