Martini Enfield MkI 303 (T216)
Victorian issue.
Price $995 plus postage
Converted from Martini Henry III (1882), the barrel length was the same as the Lee Enfield MkII Magazine rifle. Due to the introduction of Cordite propellant, the shallow Metford rifling was found to be exhausted after approx. 5000 rounds due to the higher velocity and heat increase.
The fore-end is fitted with the metal hook plate as found on the MkIII rifle; however, barrel length is 30.2” (76.5cm) long, and of a lightweight profile. Sighting is via an 1800-yard leaf. The foresight is a traditional barleycorn on block.
The M-E Mk has the same top wooden handguard as fitted to the Magazine Lee Enfield rifle, except held by a single spring clip.
Unusually the M-E was designed to accept a bushed pattern 1876 22” bayonet, with a raised hump to clear the foresight, when fitted the bayonet is slung underneath (not side) of the barrel.
48,000 manufactured by Enfield 5th July 1895.
Markings on the Right-hand side of the receiver are V.R III,
left hand V.R M.E. .303, I.

Enfield SHT LE MkI*** 303 (T215)
Price $1800 plus postage
The Mk. I*** rifles are WW I (circa 1914-15) conversions of SMLE Mk. I and I* rifles, which were originally produced from 1903 until at least 1912. Practically all of the Mk. I series rifles that were still in Britain in 1914 were so converted. The I*** conversion itself was technically fairly minor and involved modifications to the sights and ammunition feeding system. Early SMLE's were designed to use the round nosed Mk. II and Mk. VI .303-inch ammunition. The I*** changes updated these rifles for use with spitzer bulleted Mk. VII ammunition (which was itself introduced in 1910). The pointed bullet explains the feed changes, whilst the flatter trajectory of the new round was the reason for the sighting mods.

Enfield LEI* 303 (R202)
COLLECTOR ONLY.
Drill Purpose (DP) Marked. DP cut through the chamber. This is a DP firearm only and not able to be fired. It is a Charger Loader Lee Enfield I*. It retains the front & rear volley sights. Piling swivel. Mag cut off.
Price $1295 plus postage
In 1907 the British adopted a new universal short rifle (the SMLE) that used charger (aka stripper) clips. Previous models of the Lee in British service had to be loaded one round at a time by hand. In order to make use of the hundreds of thousands of “Long Lee” (and Metford) rifles already manufactured, the British instituted a program to update them with charger guides. The began in 1908 and ran to 1914, although the majority were done in 1909 and 1910. In addition to removing the dust cover and fitting the charger guide, the front sight, rear sight, magazine, and volley sights were all updated. The new sights were windage-adjustable on both front and rear, and calibrated for Mk VI ammunition (although many were later updated again and re-re-calibrated for Mk VII ammunition).
These CLLE rifles would serve as second-line rifles in World War One and even through the end of World War Two.

This was one of several variants of 'cadet martini' rifles that were used in Australia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for cadet training. Skennerton (Australian Service Longarms, 1975) states that the Victorian Government purchased the first 500 Francottes in 1887 at a cost of 3 pounds each. These were issued to Victorian cadets until being withdrawn in 1911 when Senior Cadet training was introduced.

Original Springfield Model 1812 Flintlock
This is an extremely rare to find in Australia, Springfield Model 1812 musket. The Model 1812 is a .69 calibre smooth bore musket, with a 42-inch barrel and a 54-inch stock, and a total length of 57 inches. The Model 1812 was produced in a small quantity, less than 30,000 between the years 1814 and 1816. It was replaced by the Model 1816 Musket, however, the Model 1812 remained in service for many years, and was even used in the American Civil War, mostly by Confederate forces. Butt plate is dated 1813. Action is dated 1812, US stamped at the top of the action, over the American Eagle. Springfield stamped below the eagle. Serious collectors will probably not see another of these for sale in Australia.
Antique, no licence required in Qld. Check your own state regulations.
