Difficulties in Obtaining a MK 1 III bolt assembly for Lithgow Rifle

[HOOKED ON HISTORY]

I don't have much to spend so I'm hoping the missing bolt keeps the price low and the idiot that pays double what a bayonet is worth isn't there that early in the morning.

Great fun to restore. My money is on you to leave with a bargin. Finally got some Brownells xxx stain to try for a better match on my forend.

I hate that auction. Working Enfields were selling for $150 or less, this one a definate project rifle with no bolt and no magazine sells for $160. I did attempt to put a bid in at $170 but was ignored by the auctioneer. Probably for the best, even with the bayonet it was pushing this for the condition it was in.

I have a spare blued Lithgow bolt complete for a moderate price, A prefix so it is a 1918 era bolt
