My British .303 no1 mk3* Lee Enfield made in 1918 with its 1907 pattern sword bayonet with 17 inch blade from a nice rear angle. I love how photogenic this rifle is.Related content

Note : before firing, find padding!

When I was in the U.S. I was taken to a range there by a friend, got to shoot some vintage guns.. Including an M-1 , much impressed.. In fact fitted so well, first round fired scored bull.. The entire range stopped.. SO EMBARRASSED! lol Still got the target lol

My 1917 III* has the 1907 bayonet cut down to 12", retaining the original scabbard. I replacedΒ the rear sight with a windage-adjustable one.

Why would they cut down the bayonet? Answer: I almost took out the ceiling Fan in my room several times with my bayonet attached to my rifle. Put a good cut into the edge of one of the fan blades. Cheers!

Probably to make it handier to use as a longer blade really dragged the muzzle down, also the bayonet charge was becoming less and less survivable with the use of machine guns.

Beautiful. It's everything I wish my No.1 Mk.III was.

Yes but just to the right of the bolt in the picture you can see a crack in the stock I need to fix.

Shoot. How does one perform a repair like that?

Basically glue then a little bit of shellack mixed with some sanded wood powder
