No. Looks like complete shit, and it's actually probably really dangerous to shoot. The 1920s were plagued with barrel obstructions. Don't try to shoot it, OP. I value your life too much, I don't want you to get injured. Here, just send it to me and I'll try to fix it.

How much did you pay? Do serial numbers match? Stocks looks refinished, but not a bad job. Inter-war years are neat IMO. Nice rifle.

Yeah serial numbers match up. It was made in the Ishapore Rifle Factory. All the markings are correct.

Also, $450.

Me thinks thats not so good

How so? All those rifles were made with British machines and overseen by British factory managers. Literally no less quality control than the ones made in GB.

>>30586988
Fair enough for a full wood.

>>30587135
450 is sorta high for a SMLE. also Ishapores usually go for lower because no one wants a DESIGNATED SHOOTING RIFLE. Or at least from what I have seen

>>30586988
I think $450 is a little much considering the stock was refinished, but if you're happy that's fine.

>>30587120
Nothing wrong with pre-Independence Ishapore.

Probably. But it shoots well and I'll get a lot of use out of it so I'm not too discomforted.
