Product Information

This is a superb condition First World War dated SMLE No1 MKIII rifle with magazine cut-off. Dated 1918 it was manufactured by S.S.A. Standard Small Arms was a company founded during the First World War with the primary aim to supply complete rifles, namely SMLE's to the British Government's War Department to help supplement the output of Enfield , BSA and LSA. However, the company never achieved its goal of producing large numbers of rifles and only managed to make around 200,000 in total during WWI. A tiny amount in rifle terms. The butt strap band was not stamped with a makers name, just a Crown over GR with the year of manufacture and model. The initials SSA were stamped on the left rear of the receiver. On the left hand side by the bolt safety bracket are two further Enfield rework stamps indicating that this rifle received upgrades in 1934 and 1938. This rifle may well have been deployed to France with the BEF (British Expeditionary Force) September 1939. Accompanying this lovely rifle is a Mills grenade launcher attachment with Mills grenade and a 1918 dated 1907 Pattern bayonet. A superb set.

Deactivated to current specifications with moving bolt and removable magazine. This rifle can still be fully dismantled with the exception of the bolt.
