Lithgow 1917 SMLE...HELP NEEDED

[bros]

Thanks for your reply mattyboy82

Any way of sharing that info possibly?

Just wondering if there are any specific Australian SMLE books out there other than Skennerton's big Enfield book?

I think not as I believe I have nearly every book written on the Lee Enlfield but just checking in case I missed one.

SC under the HV stamp on the barrel signifies = Short Cone not sure but I think that may signify a short lede into the bores rifling from the chamber neck, happy to be corrected on this one.

Having an oiler serial No.'ed to the rifle is pretty rare, my 1921 Lithgow No.1 MkIII has it's '07 bayonet serial No.'ed to it has the 1921 Lithgow double stitched scabbard which are fairly rare.
Nice honest looking rifle, I did notice some chipping of the butts wrist from the socket PL has info on this site of the gap required there as the butts are a wedge type fitment AFAIK.

im very pleased with the rifle, as it arrived.

Wood is most certainly coachwood and I'm quite certain the fore-end is original! The magazine

Bore is very good and magazine is "OA" stamped so that's a bonus too.

I plan on taking it to the range in the next while.
