Description:
Serial #84179, .410 Bore, 25” barrel with an excellent, bright bore. This is an RFI marked, 1949 dated gun that retains 95-97% of the original blue with some mild fading and silvering along the high edges and on the bearing surfaces of the matching numbered bolt. The forend (which was renumbered to the gun when it was converted), buttstock, and handguards are in excellent condition with only some scattered light handling marks and surface blemishes as well as an old armory repair at the heel of the butt, and crisp cartouches on the right side. 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 fine-excellent condition and would make a neat addition to a collection of Lee-Enfields. {Ref. “India's Enfields 4th Edition” by Robert W. Edwards; 2003} FFL or C&R
