No1 MK III October 1, 2022 Reviewer: DAVID COMP from MT PLEASANT MILLS, PA United States   THE RIFLE I RECEIVED WAS NOT AS DESCRIBED, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN LISTED AS A B GRADE OR LESSER. THERE WAS 0 ORIGINAL FINISH LEFT ON ANY EXPOSED PART. IT WAS NOT WHAT I ORDERED I ORDERED A BRITISH No1 MkIII I RECEIVED A NO1 MK3* RIFLE WAS 1954 DATED AND MADE IN INDIA.  BORE IS FAIR TO GOOD, IT HEAD SPACED WELL, FUNCTIONS CHECK WAS GOOD. HAVE NOT SLUGGED THE BARREL TO CHECK DIAMETER AS OF YET, BUT IT SHOULD BE A GOOD SHOOTER. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND A GOOD NO1 MKIII WITH A WW1  DATE.  I HAVE ORDERED AGAIN, THIS TIME CARCANOS. WE WILL SEE HOW THAT GOES. I WONT ORDER AGAIN WHEN THERE ARE ONLY 5 IN INVENTORY. BOTTOM OF THE BARREL. Was this review helpful to you?

Enfield No1 Mk 3 Purchase September 27, 2022 Reviewer: Justin from Texas   Received a 1917 BSA Enfield No1 Mk3 rifle today and are very happy with the condition.  The metal has little to no rust, stock looks to be original and in great condition (only one very small crack concealed under the rear sight) and barrel has very good rifling.  RTI exceeded our expectations. This will be a family legacy piece for generations to come. Thank you RTI for providing access to these amazing pieces of history!  God bless you guys! Was this review helpful to you?

Pretty much as advertised September 11, 2022 Reviewer: Richard from Florida   No bluing on exposed metal. Wire wheel marks on front band. But, all the hardware was there, swivel, sights, magazine. Seer was worn to the point the safety wouldn't engage. New seer fixed that. Stock and wood pieces worn and dinged. But nothing major and no cracks. Bore has good rifling but has pits and is dark. I don't have a gauge to test the wear on it. Expect a lot of cleaning and maybe some minor repairs or adjustments. 1943 Dispersal rifle. Was this review helpful to you?

Enfield No 1, MK III September 10, 2022 Reviewer: ROBERT BROOKS from Arkansas   Recently purchased  both an Enfield Number 1, Mark III and a Carcano M91 from Royal Tiger Imports.  I am very pleased with both rifles. Yes - they needed a good cleaning - that wasn't a surprise.  It was an enjoyable experience and I've learned a great deal about military surplus wooden stocks. Was this review helpful to you?

1918 Enfield No1 Mk3* June 14, 2022 Reviewer: Matthew from Maine   I was excited to get my 1918 Enfield No1 Mk3* from RTI. Shipment was fast. However, the condition of this rifle would've had me guessing I was sent a B-Grade over the requested Original Condition. Some of the finish was remaining, but the gun was extremely dirty. My biggest concern was with the bolt head and bolt track. The bolt head was loose and would often come off the track if with little force. For a 104-year old gun, I understand that wear is commonplace. However, I believe this rifle should've gone under the B-Grade category. Was this review helpful to you?

No. 1 Mark III Original May 13, 2022 Reviewer: Mike T from MA   Rifle was in fairly good condition.  1916 BSA. Wood was in great shape but was very dirty.  The whole cleaning process took about a week.  No cracks in the wood or deep nicks.  Exposed parts had lost most of their finish but they were all there and functioning. Some minor pitting under the wood and surface rust but it came off easy.  it looks like it went through the armory once as the rear sight was not original to the rifle but correct for the model. Overall a nice shooter and a WW1 vintage rife. Was this review helpful to you?

No 1 Mark III Original March 26, 2022 Reviewer: Kevin R. from Pa   I am very happy with this rifle. I received a 1918 BSA mark III*. The bore cleaned up to be excellent with no pitting, plenty of shine and rifling to the end, although it weakened a bit in the final inch. There are no cracks and all components are present. There is very little pitting  anywhere and it is not present on any important areas. The bluing is weak in the exposed areas, but strong everywhere else. The bolt is slick and functions without issue. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a nicer rifle, even at a higher price point. Was this review helpful to you?

No1 MKIII Original Condition February 24, 2022 Reviewer: Ammon from New Mexico   I recently purchased a SMLE original condition, no hand select. I did quite a bit of research on the quality of  surplus guns coming out of RTI, and decided to take the gamble. I received a 1917 BSACO, which was filthy (but expected). The bluing was almost non existent (also expected). The stock had a few cracks, and the fore stock was split from the butt stock bolt. The rifle was missing a few screws which were easily replaceable, and not a big deal. Overall the rifle cleaned up decently, but the rifling was in poor condition, and most likely will be a wall hanger. In the end I would have expected this rifle to be in the B Grade category, but I knew what I was getting into, and enjoyed the cleaning/ restoring aspect of the purchase. I did order two other rifles from RTI, and may pick up a few more in the future. Was this review helpful to you?

Pleasantly Surprised February 1, 2022 Reviewer: Jason from NC   When I bought this rifle I expected to get a garbage rod/wall hanger that would be a good conversation piece, but I was wrong and I couldn't have been happier with what I recieved. Like most rifles out of Ethiopia, this rifle required a deep clean and a safety check before I could fire it, but it cleaned up great! I got 1918 from BSAcO and it looks great, I also sprang for the bore hand-select option and my rifle shoots great too, I recently shot a 25 shot, 3-inch group at 100 yards with PPU ammo, most of the variance being user error, but the thing is really accurate. I couldn't be happier with my rifle, however, the shipping was exceedingly long at around a month. Was this review helpful to you?
