1941 LB and a 1923 SMLE Mk V

[boltaction]

Good morning:
I wanted share some photos of a couple of recent acquisitions.

This is not my first 1941 LB, and unfortunately (but not surprisingly) it has undergone upgrades at some point in its life. It still wears its matching 1942 dated barrel, but the stock is a later pattern, and it does not have the waisted foresight protector, hinged barrel bands, or the early pattern cocking piece. Still, it is an early production unit and in nice shape. I think it should shoot well! It certainly conforms to the early pattern serial numbering--just two digit.

I've run across and owned a few Mk V SMLE's before, but never a 1923 dated one. This one is matching and in very nice shape, so it is a definite keeper!
