manc_munsters Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) For sale 1918 BSA SMLE 3* All matching numbers, this is a totally original rifle that I have owned for over 25 years The action is dead straight, no twisting or crimping that's found on dealer rifles to make them appear better quality.k It's not been shot in decades as I don't target shoot any more Lots of once fired and new (HXP) brass to go with it Also a date correct bayonet and scabbard will be included £700 I've just returned from Henry Kranks and seen what's on offer for £700-800 and this rifle is in a different class. I can assure you Kranks wouldn't include hundreds of cases and a bayonet too 😉 Based in North Manchester but willing to meet up a reasonable distance away. Any questions or more photos just end an emails Edited May 17, 2023 by manc_munsters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gutted to sell it but I'm due to retire and move house so I want to down size my cabinet. Unfortunately I just can't justify having it just sat there doing nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.C Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Is indeed a great price and especially if you've also advertised it elsewhere I can't see this hanging around long. Are ther any regimental stamps on the butt disc or bayonet? These might be worth mentioning? A close up of the wrist stamp too but you did say any more photos... They don't come up in this condition very often, the very best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mullard83 Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 That is lovely & when my renewal comes up in December is exactly what I`m going to put in for. Just a shame it came up now & not then. This will be gone in no time, & if my last variation hadn`t taken so long I would ask you to hold it for me. GLWTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to bump this again Before thinking about this rifle, go to Henry Kranks and see some of the scrap he is selling for north of £900 Comes with 100 rounds of ammo for free This rifle is dead straight and 100% original I also have for sale 100 once fires HXP cases and 800 brand new HXP cases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
