British Enfield Rifles Vol 1, SMLE (No1), MkI&III 3rd Edition by Charles R. Stratton

By Charles R. Stratton. The production of various British Enfield series of .303 rifles spans more than 80 years from 1888 to the early 1970s. They were manufactured in a dozen factories on four continents in dozens of variations. Because there are so many variations, identification of models and types is very difficult, and determining whether or not the rifle is "correct as manufactured" often seems impossible. Charles R. Stratton, in this first book in a series covering the entire line of British Enfield Rifles, provides a part-by-part analysis of the SMLE Mk I and Mk III series, also known as the Lee-Enfield No. 1. He includes all variations manufactured in Great Britain, Australia and India, including the post-World War II, 7.62 mm 2A/2A1 rifles made in that country. 167 pages. 5 1/2" x 8 1/2".
