    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.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    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.
