Description: Serial #20042H, .410 Bore, 25” barrel with an excellent, bright bore. This is a 1949 RFI conversion of a 1943 Ishapore SMLE Mk. III* and has had the barrel bored out to .41 caliber, a sheet metal loading tray installed in the receiver, and a wooden filler block added to the magazine well. The metal retains 95-97% of the arsenal added black Suncorite finish while the non-matching bolt with No. 4 style cocking-piece has an overall mottled blue-gray patina with some mild surface freckling on the handle. The forend, buttstock, and handguards are in very good condition with scattered light handling marks and small blemishes as well as a small with-the-grain crack at the back of the rear handguard. These interesting guns were developed for use against unarmed crowds and fired rounds based on a straight case .303 loaded either with a single round lead ball or twelve shot pellets (quite lethal at close range but at longer ranges still very unpleasant). Amazingly, many of these remain in Indian police armories today and are still issued for crowd control purposes. This example is in very good-near fine condition and would make a neat addition to a collection of Lee-Enfields. {Ref. “India's Enfields 4th Edition” by Robert W.
