I have joined the ranks of Lee Enfield collectors

[spinecracker]

I am only getting the excess oil/grease out of the stock (it is pouring out due to the temperature, humidity and altitude changes the poor rifle has gone through being brought to Reno - 4500ft altitude and in the middle of a desert - yikes!). I am not doing any refinishing except for a tiny bit of boiled linseed oil - I like the look of the wood, and I have done nothing so far to change it. The patina and walnut "tiger" striping are unchanged, I promise. Besides, I lazy lol.

The barrel is serialed to the action body, and it looks like the barrel was replaced in 1937.
