The constable’s SMLE was one of the 20th century’s outstanding military rifles and
surely the one with the longest service record. Adopted by the British Army at the
turn of the century, the .303 Lee-Enfield saw service in both world wars and
countless conflicts around the world.
During World War I alone, more than 2,000,000 SMLEs were made at the Royal
Small Arms Factory at Enfield Lock, Middlesex (Reynolds 1960: 180). These rifles
would eventually be manufactured at factories in England, India, Australia, and even
a few in the United States.
Production changed to the 7.62 cartridge in the 1960s, and the last Enfields were
made in the early 1970s.

RESERVE IS SET AT $400
