Just sold on usedguns.com.au a 1927 Lithgow MkIII for wait for it $350.00/Au it had a rusty bore but heck production was supposed to be around the 3000 for that year making it a tad scarce. I reckon as soon as it hit the site it would have been gone dammit!!!
it would be nice to be able to sit at work with a usedguns window open checking it every two minutes. i can't see an option to notify you when a new add is posted.
Yes would be nice henryr I cruise it daily just to see whats on offer and would have had a go at this one running the risked of being cindered again by my wife who has finally settled after my acquisition from 18 months ago as she reckons I have to many 303 rifles and other affiliated gear that I probably wont use but half the fun is owning stuff so you can fiddle with stuff. I still have a long bucket list though will have to be content trying to fill it when I get up stairs as it is more than a lifetimes worth....:p
Well Cinders, I'm pleased I wasn't the only one that missed it.
My phone is linked to the computer and warned me as soon as it was flagged, by the time I walked from the workshop to the house and made the call, it was sold........I was the second caller.:bitch:
how do you set that up?
Why would the rifle have no rear sight - a "H" barrel maybe?
that would be my guess, but i still got HEAPS to learn.
i'm surprised no-one has grabbed the LE1* for $330. btw the '27 was $330. :crying:
Has been converted to Range Pattern- Shortened barrel. I guess there is $330 worth of bits and pieces though.Quote:

Muffer I've been the second caller that many times, I've lost count. I've also been first caller a good many times as well. It's best to just hang up the phone and never give it a second thought.Quote:

I was referring to the range pattern CINDERS, i agree the 27 would stay as is, well maybe replace whats missing.Quote:

The only firearm I regret selling was a M95 Steyr Carbine in 8x56r. It was pretty smooth and accurate (had the front sight changed out by the Bulgarians to a 100m zero). Not something everyone likes but I quite enjoyed it. I ended up selling it to someone who was going on about there family heritage and wanting this to be the start of there collection, etc.. I sold it at a very fair price as I just wanted it to be taken care of and I truly felt I was helping someone out. Not even a month and a half later buddy had it for sale for 200$ more than I sold it for and he got what he was asking.
I was not the happiest to say the least.
That is not a good outcome...
Of all of the things I miss, I miss my mind the most.:madsmile:
It looked to have a nice set of Maple on it............win some, lose some.
I just hope a collector grabbed it, not some young buck that was looking for a cheap one to sporterize.
Didn't miss this one though.

How much of it is matching?Quote:

This could be one of Demo's discards, took it off another collector a bit north of him.
Nope not mine.
Hey Andrew, Phil G, he said he had dealings with you.
Did he buy something from me? The name doesn't ring a bell just now.
Things I miss?.....Figure 12s at 400!
You are no Robinson Crusoe there, a figure 12 is bloody small at 100, let alone 4, but the figure 13 at 600 in the sniper matches takes some catching also.:lol:Quote:

Would have been nice.......
Someone go a bargain, should pay more attention.
Mike we can only stare at a screen for so long and getting them nailed with the description is the hardest part of tracking down stuff on fleabay
