***Old Rifle identification help

[Shawn56555]

Can anyone tell me what brand of rifle this is a? And possibly what it’s worth?
I'd say it’s in great condition for how old it looks (1918 according to stamp). It is a hand-me-down gun from a relative.
Shoots .303 British.

Lee Enfield Mark III .303 it seems. But I am sure there are more qualified guys on here to give you more detail on that particular one.

Sporterized SMLE. Worth about 125$

It's a peddled Scheme rifle. It'll be wortha slight premium to a restorer if the bore is still good.

Sad to see what people did with these pieces of our history.

Back then it used to be that they were a dime a dozen. A full stock Lee Enfield for $25 or a sporterized one for $40? Most people chose the sporterized one for hunting. And vets usually wanted guns that didn't remind them as much as the battle rifles but a gun they were used to.
