    Lithgows of WW2

    Hello gents,

    I've been wanting to take this photo for a while. My lithgows from 1939 to 1945 action dates. The 1939 at the front has a replaced forend and I suspect butt also but the others are matching, excellent to new bores. 39 and 40 are maple.

    I have detailed photo's of all these rifles if there are any request.

    Thanks Ned. Not sure which would be best shooter. They'd all be better than I'm capable that's for sure.

    Need a 13 and 38 to round up the lot. There is a 1913 on offer to me know but I can't afford it.
