I have just come across an all matching 1941 Lithgowicon, even the woodwork is still stamped MA41 and does not appear to have been replaced. curiously, the barrel has been recrowned with the muzzle counterbored a 3-5mm. The condition of the metal would indicate it was done many years ago, and may have even been refinished at the time.

My first though is that this is probably something done by a cadet unit armorer when the federal government cut a lot of funding to them in the 70's, but the originality of the rest of the rifle makes me believe that it is at least not a total bubba job and quite a bit of care went into keeping that thing complete and together in its original format

Thoughts?
