Most interesting - it appears that the Danes machined their own actions.

A friend just sent me a note that there is a Danish Trials Lee in a museum in Koblenz, Germany - Wehrtechnische...

snorli,
Yours is the first Danish Trials Lee I have seen. I very briefly mention the Danish Trials in the Remington Lee book but had no information on them. It is a most rare rifle. Question - are...

A friend just alerted me to this thread on the Remington Lees and the Springfield Lee. I have one of these - Serial # 72 - marked on the breech block and wrote an article on it that was published in...

Phil Seiss at S&S is a great guy. He helped me with "The Winchester-Lee Rifle" book. He has reproduced many of the impossible to find W-L parts.
