No. 1 Mk. III* Lithgow Circa June 1941 (Photo Thread)

[jmoore]

What's so special about a June '41 Lithgow?

Nothing, particularly. Except it was purchased in June a few years back, AND the serial number- which makes it downright peculiar.

Soooo, snice it's its birthday, some photos:







The number under the bolt handle (F1694) matches that on the top RH side of the butt socket.- There's also a small "MA" mark just to the rear on the top edge of the socket.






Note the 6 '41 barrel date.





The rear handguard I suspect is Indian, and the forestock is numbered to the rifle but displays a "SLAZ42" mark. Otherwise, not too bad!
