    So, once again...I agree about the butcher job. It's going to have a set of Remington sights installed. The bolt matches numbers(I even said that) and the remaining parts function. Yes, the mag is marked "Made in Englandicon". The FH is coming off and the barrel will remain as is. I'm going to find a set of sporterized wood at our Halloween show here and stock it that way. No scope, no bedding or fancies. Blue it up by hand I guess...it'll shoot again as a truck gun. I'll show you when it's done.

    Sometimes that's all you can do. I have seen a couple that have been so chopped that there is no going back to anything but a hunter/sporter. Some are very nicely and professionally crafted but are barely a Lee- Enfield any longer.
