Rare find or simple fudge?

[Patrick Chadwick]

Am I missing something here?

It looks like a Long Lee-Enfield that has had the (presumably shot-out or damaged) barrel replaced by an SMLE barrel, with the foresight looking grotesquely high* without the nosecap. The wood then shortened to fit the replacement barrel.

BTW: I wrote to the seller, quite politely pointing this out. He did not reply or correct the text.

Look, admire, enjoy the inventive prose that it has a "Mauser foresight" !!!! and tell me, please, is this a rare NZ version, or just a piece of Bubbary?


*with the LE sight soldered onto the SMLE barrel, the high SMLE foresight should ensure that shots at 100 yards fly well below the target!
