    SGreen stripe on Lithgow buttstock??

    What does a green stripe on the buttstock of a Lithgowicon No1 MarkIII mean? The stripe is located just behind the trigger housing.

Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    It means it was a cadet rifle and is in good shooting order with standard HV Ammo.
    You've got a good, safe shooter !!! Mine had the green band also.

    Yes I have one in my collection although I've removed the band. They also marked them with a yellow and a white band, iirc the yellow stripe denoted it was ok for use with ball but worn whilst white was for DP use.

    Hope this helps
