    Lee-Speed sporter

    While looking for info in Skennertonicon,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.

    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.
