British WD 1894 Dated, Long Lee Enfield MK II Rifle By LSA Co (London Small Arms Company), 1910 Converted To Charger Loading With Long Range Volley Sights, Magazine Cut Off, Cleaning Rod & Original Leather Sling. D 1480 - D 1480
The Long Lee-Enfield .303 was introduced into the British Army in the late 1800’s. It replaced the Lee-Metford, which had been the standard issue firearm since 1889. The latter was a magazine-fed repeating rifle, but it fired cartridges using black powder which emitted smoke when fired that gave away the rifleman's position. In 1891, the British first produced cordite a propellant that burned cleanly without emitting smoke. It also generated more heat, however, which wore out the Lee-Metford's rifling system of seven shallow grooves. A new rifling system was developed at the Royal Small Arms Factory, Enfield, consisting of five deep grooves that could withstand the intense heat generated by the cordite. The result was the .303 Long Lee-Enfield rifle. The new rifle saw service in the Boer wars and beyond. This .303 calibre Long Lee MK II is crisply stamped on the right side of the strap 'LSA Co Ld' (London Small Arms Co Ltd) Crown VR' (Victoria Regina) and '1894' date. In 1910 this rifle was converted to charger loading and is correctly stamped on the left side of the strap 'LSA Co 1910 C.C.L.E’. The breech is stamped with number '9262 and has other un-matching numbers. The metal work has WD and ordnance inspection marks. It has stepped blade fore sight, flip up rear peep sight, long range volley sights, ladder rear sight, bayonet bar, sling swivels fitted with original leather sling, magazine cut off and charger loading bridge. The wood work is excellent & all original. The rifle has its original brass butt plate with trap. The deactivated rifle’s bolt moves, its trigger moves, the magazine cut off moves as it should and the magazine can be removed. The price includes UK delivery and deactivation certificate. D 1480

The Battle of the Somme also known as the Somme offensive, was a battle of the First World War fought by the armies of the British Empire and the French Third Republic against the German Empire. It took place between 1 July and 18 November 1916 on both sides of the upper reaches of the river Somme in France. The battle was intended to hasten a victory for the Allies. More than three million men fought in the battle, of whom more than one million were either wounded or killed, making it one of the deadliest battles in human history.
