1936 Lithgow Restoration Parts
Greetings All
Came across this beauty looking for treasure on the internet. A .22 Patt 14 No. 1 fitted with a 1936 Lithgow butt and possibly a matching forend. Anyone trying to restore a '36 with big dollars??

My book "Catalogue of The Enfield Pattern Room, British Rifles" states on page 77 the following information: Rifle, Short. 22 RF, Pattern 1914, No 1. This was approved in Sept 1914 and differs from previous types by having the existing 303" barrel reamed out and fitted with a 22 inch liner tube, this system was developed by A.G. Parker & Co. The original bolt is adopted for the 22 rim fire with eccentric firing pin as well as the extractor. These Patt. 14 No 1 models were converted from S.M.L.E. Cond Mk II and II* rifles. Also a blade front sight and alteration of the backsight aiming notch to U form was also done. The charger guide was removed from the bolt head as well as the magazine and cut-off assemblies.
There is also Pattern 1914 No 2 (1916)
