    Nice start. Only recognise the SMLE but the sling don't look right.
    Keep up the good work.

    Ah ha, another collector on the road to ruin.
    It will take you over without you even realising it, suddenly 4 becomes 10, then 10 becomes 20. etc, etc, etc.

    Good luck, Phil

    This bloke started out wanting just one military trainer air rifle. Then he tried to stop at 20. Now look....

    In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

    Smle

    These sell for around £250-£300 in Britain if they are still classed as firearms ie not deactivated. You can add around £50 for the long 1907 pattern bayonet and webbing sling.

    I like mine,the barrel looks brand new no rust or pitting.
    Is the ammo any easier to find in the UK?

    0.303 ammo

    A friend of mine shoots the 0.303 Enfield No 4 (which came after the SMLE). He has been unable to find surplus ammo for some time, so has to buy PPU made ammunition for £50 per 100. He also has a German Mauser (7.92mm) and can buy (very dirty) surplus ammo by the bucketful for next to nothing. Very odd.
