Lee-Speed sporter

While looking for info in skennerton,s " The Lee Enfield" regarding a Lee Metford and flicking through the pages i stopped on page 112 and 113, was racking my brains were i,d seen one similar, had a look on guntrader and there it was, have viewed it several times but never hit home that it was an original, just thought it was a converted milsurp to a sporter.
Not my cup of tea but may be of interest to some of the collectors out there.

Maybe one day! Be nice to get one to hunt in my nice soggy woods. (so not too pretty a rifle, please!)

Forgot to say its priced at £450, there is another at £425 but don,t think its the original butt.

W/ a good bore, that doesn't seem wretchedly high. Of course, I'm on the wrong side of the medium big water to pursue.

Have just started the ball rolling regarding an Import/Export licence, may lower a few barriers in the future.
