It is not an SMLE, it looks like a sporter converted from a No 4.

SMLE pertains to the No1 rifle.

Canny looking bit of roughly hewn hide on it too...1914 pattern (rivets)...though a 1903 Pattern would have been even better.

She could be "re-militarised", the barrel looks to be untouched? .... got out of that pansy civilian dress and back into proper military fatigues !

Sez the person with a wrongly-scoped A4 icon. ...naughty bad!

Been gradually doing a very similar rebuild/re-militarisation, on a Fazakerly made No.4 that'd been sporterised & 410'd in the past.
The prices being charged for sets of wood is bordering on daylight robbery....but by waiting for non-dealer (militaria variery, not rfd) sales online, I eventually got the parts required. Just waiting for barrel bands/caps & a magazine.
Restoring can be done...so maybe worth considering as a project. ..

Are there any no5 conversion kit suppliers in Europe ?
