    1920 Lithgow SMLE Smooth bore

    Evening all, I am mulling over rescue mission on a down at heal smooth bored 1920 dated Lithgowicon. At £450 its not cheap, but it would be nice to rebarrel her and return another SMLE to the range. I know it doesn't make much financial sence, but I do like lost causes!

    What do you chaps think, your thoughts and insight are always appreciated..
