What’s your Lee Enfield Holy Grail?

[MJ1]

SMLE of almost any kind.
Lithgow or BSA of WW2 vintage.

I want a Mk V Trials Rifle...

... but I would settle for a really nice looking Lee Metford with a beautifully sharp rifled bore.

I had a Lithgow No.1 MkIII in near new condition back in the 60's and let it go when money was needed. I would very much like to find another one but have been spoiled with the memory of the one that got away. Those that I see now being offered look like they have been drug down the road.

I would like to get back my Lee Metford carbine, LB .22 cal Jungle Carbine, and LB No.4 RCAF rifle, all of which I sold years ago.

I've had a pretty lucky run. When I went looking for my first trainer, I scored an all original matching Patt14No1 .22 trainer for less than the going price of a No2 MkIV. Then a Lithgow No1 MkIII* HT 1/1. I thought my luck was all used up when a No6 was offered to me at a price I could afford on the day.

I suppose I should be on the lookout for a No4 Mk1 (I don't own any) of British origins, but I think a No4T would be nice.

Just added a pic of my Lithgows (except the Highmount HT)

SMLE Lithgow. The SMLE's just look good!

My holy grail would be a smle III or III* in good condition, good enough to shoot regularly at the range, then it will be my favourite gun because it will be my first. I like the look better than the later guns.

Nice group shot there son.
I haven’t seen a Slazenger .22 Hornet before. Are they common in Australia?
How about a few details on the one at the top with the bipod?

I'd love to have a Mk I SMLE in as issued condition. Since I'm dreaming, unit marked to the Scots Guards!
