    1920 Lithgow SMLE Smooth bore

    Evening all, I am mulling over rescue mission on a down at heal smooth bored 1920 dated Lithgowicon. At £450 its not cheap, but it would be nice to rebarrel her and return another SMLE to the range. I know it doesn't make much financial sence, but I do like lost causes!

    What do you chaps think, your thoughts and insight are always appreciated..

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  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. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.
