    Lithgows of WW2

    Hello gents,



    I've been wanting to take this photo for a while. My lithgows from 1939 to 1945 action dates. The 1939 at the front has a replaced forend and I suspect butt also but the others are matching, excellent to new bores. 39 and 40 are maple.

    I have detailed photo's of all these rifles if there are any request.

    and the best shooter out of the lot would be the 41 or thats what i have found. seems to be a good vintage.

    Thanks Ned. Not sure which would be best shooter. They'd all be better than I'm capable that's for sure.

    Need a 13 and 38 to round up the lot. There is a 1913 on offer to me know but I can't afford it.
