Lee Enfield EY

[Ed Smurf]

On another site a member has posted a pic of his EY stamped No1 mark III. He would like more info/comments...what/where should I direct him to?

Here would be a good idea... there's also some good info on milsurps.com.

I have a South African Naval "EY" stamped 1900 MLE mk1*.

EY is for "emergency use with ball ammo".

Would love to see a picture of the rifle in question and I'm sure some of the more seasoned veterans on here will chime in and answer any questions.
