Ok, the but stock has been replaced but the rest of the wood is correct? Also it was repainted. Any way to verify the original barrel is still attached? I am not really keen on taking it apart due to my below par skills with any tools. Any venture on the value at todays market? I purchased it over 35 years ago for a bit over $100 dollars. I was shooting Mauser rifles and a Finish Mosin M39 at the time. It was a contrast in design and I did not anticipate it was going to be such a pleasure to shoot. I got a couple of ammo cans full of 303 on stripper clips in green cloth bandoleers. It has functioned flawlessly and was a perfect fit on my shoulder. I really liked the sights and the trigger pull. As a kid I read with great reverence the stout resolve of the Common Wealth soldier in WWII. I will try to snap some pictures of my Lithgowand No 4 Mk1 T. The latter also gained respect as I had a Swede M41b and Mosin 91/30 PU and darn if the British
Telescopic rifle was the easiest for me to adjust for crosswind and distance and reward me with nice tight groups. I had little experience and just kind of winged it in the field. Thanks again for all the knowledge and a great web site.
