Got the sight part right, Badger. I'm pretty sure it's a Lithgow
No.6, though.
Number three on my dream list of Lee-Enfields, behind the Lithgow HT and No1MkIII* Shortened/Lightened.

Sorry Badger- The only imported part on the rifle, the savage made sight! Gets 'em every time!
Stevo got it right! (he may have seen it elsewhere.....) here's a pic of the whole thing, above it's British cousin.
(BTW, this is only the second time I've managed to access these pages in over a week- I apologise for leaving it hanging, but I have a computer problem I cannot work out. I will be back sooner or later, and will do a piece on my No6 for the MKL if you all like)

Not too sure if it's too easy, but it's certainly too small. These eyes aren't getting any younger you know. Any way you can make it bigger?

It looks like the stock wrist of a Brown Bess.

Not a Bess, although similar vintage.

Do I have to dignify that with an answer? OK - of course we'd love the addition!

Hmm... I was going to guess India Pattern Bess, but since it isn't a Bess, either Naval PAttern musket or Baker rifle.

I/l\D = Indian Department of British Army. Contract Northwest gun (like a trade gun) supplied to HM Indian allies. Lock is marked with crown and /l\ property mark. Contractor is Moxham, who supplied guns to Board of Ordnance 1814-1818. The gun is branded with the I/l\D three places, left wrist, left butt, right forend. Came out of Brant County. At the same time that the BO took over all production of India Pattern muskets from the EIC's contractors, they contracted for NW guns for issue to irregulars in North America.
