We are proud to present our newest shipment of P17 Enfield rifles chambered in .30-06 Springfield. These rifles are in original condition. These rifles came directly from Ethiopia after being in storage for many decades. Condition varies from fair very good. The P17 Enfield rifles saw use in World War I, World War II, and many other subsequent conflicts. This is an incredibly rare chance to get ahold of a beautiful piece of history!

A Brief History of the P17 Enfield:

Before World War I, the British had the Short Magazine Lee–Enfield (SMLE) as their main rifle. Compared to the German Mausers or U.S. 1903 Springfield, the SMLE's .303 rimmed cartridge, originally a black powder cartridge, was ill-suited for feeding in magazine or belt-fed weapons and the SMLE was thought to be less accurate than its competition at longer ranges. The long-range accuracy of the German 7×57mm Mauser Model 1895 in the hands of Boer marksmen during the Boer War (1899 -1902) made a big impression on the British Army, and a more powerful, modern rifle was desired. Thus, even though improved Lee–Enfield variants (the SMLE) and .303 British Mark VII ammunition with pointed (spitzer) projectiles entered service after the Boer War in 1910, a committee was formed to develop an entirely new design of rifle and cartridge. The starting point was to copy many of the features of the Mauser system. The rifle was developed at the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield arsenal in the United Kingdom.
