For sale is a Enfield SMLE Mk III* Sporter. Serial number- 92372. This rifle is in good condition but it has been sporterized. Serial numbers on the barrel, bolt handle, and receiver all match. The Enfield Mark III* was introduced in 1915 as a simplified version of the Mark III rifle. It was designed to speed up production and reduce costs by eliminating some of the more complex features of the earlier model. The Mark III* is nearly identical to the Mark III in terms of function and performance, but it has a few key differences in its design and construction.

One of the most noticeable differences between the Enfield Mark III and the Mark III* is the lack of a rear volley sight on the latter model. The Mark III* also has a simplified rear sight arrangement, with the aperture replaced by a simple notch. Other changes included a simplified bolt head design and a simplified fore-end cap.

Despite these changes, the Enfield Mark III* was still a reliable and accurate rifle, and it saw widespread use by British and Commonwealth forces during World War I. It was also used by some British units during World War II, although it was gradually phased out in favor of newer models.

Today, the Enfield Mark III* is a popular rifle among collectors and enthusiasts, and it is often prized for its historical significance and unique features.
