Here's a Long Lee Enfield I have. Serial # 7527, Mk I, BSA & M CO. dated 1896. 303 cal. The serial number places the rifle as used by Canadians and and a good possibility in the Boer war by Canadian troops. It is all correct and matching with about 95% original bluing remaining and is complete with the volley sights. It also has the almost always missing, clearing (not cleaning) rod, used to clear the chamber of a stuck case. It replaced the cleaning rod of the earlier models and has no eye for a patch. The bore is about good-VG condition with strong rifling. A very nice looking excellent condition rifle. It’s complete with a correct good condition bayonet w/o scabbard. The clearing rod fits in a hole in the bayonet‘s handle.
