    Seems to be a lot of SMLE's being posted on here recently so I thought I'd bung some pics up of this one I have, it's a 1938 BSA No1 MKIII, deactivated unfortunately. It's a MKIII but at some stage of its life the mag cut off has been taken off and the wood replaced with MKIII* type wood. The numbers on the receiver, barrel, sight and end cap match but the bolt, which has the earlier type cocking wotsit, is non matching and the wood is also a mismatch.
    Apologies for some of the pics not being as crisp as they should be but my camera is pretty crap at taking pics in less than ideal light with the flash.

    A nice weapon, and a very popular choice amongst collectors!

    Anyone know what the crack is with the safety lever? It's not like the usual one I've seen on SMLE's marked with the III so I'm curious is it an earlier one or maybe a later WW2 type one (if such a thing exists)?
