(More customer reviews)This is a great product. it's a replica of a SMLE mark 3* (yes, the "*" is part of the designation and represents a slight variation from the mark 3 for wartime production during WWI). be advised the sights do not move but represent the actual adjustable sight found on the real steel. the magazine while removable has no moving parts and is one piece of metal. In a nutshell it's a display replica, and is made so that it can't be made into a real firearm. When holding it you can tell it's not real (albeit, if you have never held a gun before you might initially not be able to tell the difference), however, that is the point of a display replica. The only way it could be more authentic is if you actual bought the real thing.
Pros
A great and accurate display replica...especially for the price.
cons
I only bought one of them.

On 1 January 1904 a shorter and lighter version of the original MLE was introduced, the famous Rifle, Short, Magazine, Lee-Enfield, or SMLE (sometimes spoken as "smelly", rather than S, M, L, E). The barrel was now half-way in length between the original long rifle and the carbine, at 25.2 inches (640 mm). The SMLE's visual trademark was its blunt nose, the end of the barrel protruding a small fraction of an inch beyond the nosecap. The new rifle also incorporated a charger loading system, another innovation borrowed from the Boer's Mausers. The shorter length was controversial at the time: many authorities of the day felt that it was neither short enough for the cavalry, nor long enough for accurate long-range fire by massed infantry.
