Action Associated Barrel Bolt Converted Enfield Fitted Fulton Grade Parapet Privately Rifle Sniper Target
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a historic Lee Enfield Mk I. 303 bolt action sniper rifle, manufactured in 1916 during the pivotal period of World War One (1914-1918). The rifle, circa 1916, is an exceptional example of military innovation and adaptation during the conflict. Privately converted from its original design, this Lee Enfield Mk I. 303 was transformed into a parapet rifle, making it an essential tool for long-range precision shooting from fortified positions. The rifle's barrel, a Fulton target grade barrel, was meticulously fitted to enhance its accuracy and performance. The Lee Enfield Mk I. 303 was a trusted and versatile weapon during the war, with its reliable bolt-action mechanism and 303 British caliber cartridge. However, its potential as a sniper rifle was not fully realized until it was converted into a parapet rifle like the one depicted in this photograph. The Lee Enfield Mk I. 303 sniper rifle, with its distinctive features and historical significance, is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of soldiers and military engineers during wartime. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the weapons and tactics used during the First Great War (WW1/WWI).
