Wolf308,

Nice rifle leave as is, here is another 1926 Lithgow ( FTR in 1953), by memory only 4000 rifles made that year.

Are you sure it's a 1926? Looks more like a 25.

Yep its 1926, the pic does make it look like 1925 but it is a 6.

1926 lithgows with a shield are in small numbers and I've been looking for one for a few years.

Further inspection from some guys on another forum brought out that there as a red cadet band on my rifle at some point in time. Does this mean I just bought an Enfield I can't shoot?

Why can I not get an Enfield that is drama free?!

Not necessarily, some cadet units actually shot their rifles quite a bit. Just the usual thing - if unsure, get it checked by a gunsmith before firing

Easier said than done in these parts. We only have two gunsmiths... one is so close to retiring he's not taking new customers and the other one really only messes with stuff that is "tacti-cool."

Demo,

Do you know when in 1926 the shield was dropped ?

Are you sure it had red paint around the nosecap?
