    Hard Done-by Lee-Speed

    Seems that I have come into possession of what seems to be a Lee-Speed of some description, that has been butchered beyond recognition. Looks like the fore-end has been replaced with MKIII wood, the butt-stock has been cut down for cheek clearance, and now has a MKIII barrel. Its also coated in lots of dirt and grime and by the wearing on the bolt and cocking piece it has seen some use. I also can't id the nose-piece/mid-band that it has on it.

    Either way I plan to restore it, but I know there are several variants of these rifles and I'm not sure which one this is. Any help would be appreciated.
