Found this one locally for cheap, and it obviously sat in somebody's closet for the last few decades. Its currently disassembled soaking in oil, and I've applied RLO to the stock. Its nice to find a good example like this that bubba has not messed with.

Its cleaning up real nice, and I was able to get the rear sight to move again. I'll post more pics when its re-assembled, but I have to wait on a replacement band, because unfortunately, the original is just too far gone to re-use.











The stock disc is original to the rifle, and reads February 1920, 1st BN Leicestershire Regiment, rifle 74 as far as I can tell. The "PW" on the top is confusing, but a guy in the UKicon seems to think its a poorly struck "R" indicating a repair after WWI in Weedon. I can't wait to get this back together.
