Hi everyone,

Been busy, but never too busy to keep me away from Lee Enfields.

Got a Bubba'ed No5 recently (very sadly, with sanded and varnished wood, and a blot head that severely over-rotates). What struck me is that what I thought were silver-painted metal parts are actually "in the white".

The safety parts; the trigger guard and trigger; mag well, follower and follower spring; middle band and sling swivel; butt plate "frame" and even the metal plate that's in between the buttpad and the buttstock. What gives? Any idea where that comes from? I don't think a previous owner took the time to de-blue all that...
