    restored 1916 lithgow H barrel

    I found this one some time ago.Always had a soft spot for factory converted lithgow heavy barreled target rifles!This one was in a sad state.barrel cut down,charger bridge removed,stripped receiver but had the matching bolt.Only wood left was the original H marked queensland maple butt.
    Found all the proper Australianicon metal bits and a NOS british forstock.Queens land maple stock parts are hard to find.Installed another H barrel and had everthing refinished.hardest thing was installing a new charger bridge.
    Sorry lost the "before"pic
