Lithgow No1 MkIII* HT Sniper Rifle Survey

[FlightRN]

Greetings All,
I purchased this low mount (I believe its technically called a medium mount)rifle (sn#70657) and submitted my paperwork on 1 Sept 2001. It took 8-9 months to receive it from Australia but I'm glad I did it. It is one of the jewels in my collection. The rifle/scope is matching and complete. I didn't have time between the deployments over the past years to fire it and am hoping to one day to see what she can do. That will have to wait until I get back to the US though.

The chest is not an original item but I had a friend build it for me. The transit chest needed to be slightly longer in order to accomadate a No1 Mk III properly. The rifle just looked "naked" without one and I had the crate stenciled with what I thought would be appropriate nomenclature (if it existed)








Best Regards,
Michael
