welcome , good to have you go from lurking to posting , not to nit pick but we try to keep things clear for the benefit of all who read these threads , proper nomenclature for the US rifle model 1917 would be M1917 , the proper nomenclature for your SMLE would be no1 mkIII/III* depending on age

My error, fingers are tree stumps sometimes. Proof reading could use some help to! I agree that correct information is important. What is the age and or difference between No 1 Mark 111 or 111*. Mines stamped BSA 1915. ------------- I love my M 17 and the mark 1#3 |

The No1 Mk III* were made during the latter half of WWI The long range volley sight and magazine cut off were deleted to simplify production ------------- Have a Nice Day If already having a nice day please disregard |

| BSA started the change from mkIII to mkIII* in late 1915 , some started before others in 1916 , im guessing for the other post yours is late 1915 into the change |
