Hi guys
I'm considering trading for a Lee Enfield rifle, and although I'm very interested in military history, I know nothing about these British guns. The seller says that he has never shot the rifle, that it is missing a magazine, and it has a pretty large peep sight on the receiver. I'll attach the pics he provided me....In case they are too small to make out, on the buttstock it says "III* HV 1943" and on the metal band behind the receiver it says, I believe "MA LITHGOW S.M.L.E* 1942" and as you can see, what looks like a pretty large peep sight mounted on it.
Anybody have any idea what type of Enfield this is, and it's approximate value? Will I have a hard time finding a replacement magazine?
Any input would be appreciated! Thanks
