Excellent Early Serial Number "1194" British Enfield Pattern 1913 Bolt Action Trials Rifle in the Rare British .276 Caliber

This is a beautiful example of a scarce early British Pattern 1913 trials rifle in the very rare British .276 caliber. This rifle was manufactured in 1912/13 with a total production of only 1252 manufactured in two groups; approximately 508 in late 1912 and 743 in early 1913, obviously this is from the second group. These rifle were issued to several British commands; namely the northern and southern commands in England, Egypt, Northern Ireland, South Africa and the School of Musketry. They saw heavy use and all were eventually returned. Some saw a very limited use in WWI; however, they proved to be inferior to the standard Lee Enfield and were pulled from service. All were eventually sold off as commercial rifles in the 1950s. This beautiful rifle remains in its all original, unaltered condition with its original five-lands and groove barrel that correctly measures .276 diameter. It has the all blued metal finish and a bright polished bolt body. It retains its original one-piece walnut stock and two handguards with the stock having the early pattern four angled grasping grooves on each side of the forestock area. These were later dropped in favor of horizontal finger grooves in the Pattern 14 and 1917 Enfields. The right side of the receiver is stamped with the early serial number "1194", which is also stamped on the right side of the stock and on the side of the base of the bolt handle. The top of the receiver ring is proofed with a double acceptance and firing proofs which are a "Crown/42/E" and a "Crown/75" proof with a third proof at the edge of the wood line that looks like a "Crown/R". The left rear side of the receiver is stamped with a "S" over a "Double Broad Arrow" indicating it was released for commercial sales. The rifle still retains the early, original volley sights that are mounted on the left side of the rifle stock and rear receiver.

ConditionExcellent with 98% of the original British blue/black finish with only minor edge and high post wear. The stock is also in excellent condition with a nice matching original color on the stock and handguards, showing minor handling marks and pressure dents along the lower edges of the stock around the trigger guard the right side of the pistol grip and the front end of the forend. This is still a very rare and seldom seen British trials rifles.
