Lithgow High and Low Sniper Rifles

**Promo** · 04-08-2019 12:41 PM

Sorry, I couldn't resist ... since Australia icon

had to dispense four Lithgow sniper rifles which I bought there and was just successful in bringing them over to Europe, I had to put them aside of the single rifle I already had to make a group picture of all of them since you hardly ever see that many in one place (I'd however almost bet there are quite a few in here who can "outbid" me).

Find attached pictures of all five rifles and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

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.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Very Nice Promo, I guess you'll be living on bread and water for sometime.

Awesome collection of Australian icon

snipers...

what can you tell us about the differences between them?

is one of the Low Mounts a conversion from Medium mounts? 1 each FTR / non-FTR?

pre-war barrel(s) / war-time / post-war ?

Are you selling them or hoarding them?

**seymore** · 04-08-2019 03:51 PM

Wow they look to be in excellent condition.

They were bought prior Christmas, just took some time to get them .. and according to my girlfriend it shouldn‘t hurt me too much to have a few days of only water and bread

.

I don‘t know much on them. All of these are listed by Skennerton icon

. One is even twice listed, with storage date as well as FTR. And how would I know if a medium was converted to a low? Still hope to learn on those.
