About the Enfield No.1 Mk III

Adopted in 1907, the Short Magazine Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk III was a refinement of earlier Lee-Enfield designs. Its 10-round magazine, fast bolt throw, and rugged reliability made it a favorite among British and Commonwealth troops. Although officially replaced by the No.4 rifle in 1941, the SMLE remained in production and front-line service throughout WWII, especially with Australian, Indian, and other Commonwealth units.
