Manufactured in 1916, this rifle was later released from government stores for private sale via the Director of Civilian Marksmanship; these rifles received the distinctive "(bomb)/N.R.A." stamp ahead of the magazine floorplate to distinguish them from the arms still in the military inventory. Blade front and folding ladder rear sights (with volley notch), with a "SA/1-16" barrel and a casehardened receiver. The smooth straight wrist stock is marked "J.S.A." on the left side, circled script "P" on the underside of the wrist, and fitted with a sharply checkered buttplate.
