    So, who do we think 'shorty' converted this Lithgowicon guys....

    I've only ever seen one supposed real short SMLE and that was discovered in a London church bell tower a few years back.

    These are "shorty's"
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    This is the one Jim.

    Rather frustrating not to get a proper look at it .... Rather interesting piece.

    Interesting, but I doubt it was EITHER a WW1 returning soldier or a Home Guard that hid that non standard item...and 20 rds of ammo in a cookie box... I'd still have it though.

    As for the original question, I did one of those myself a few years back for a confederate that dearly wanted one. It wasn't for the tunnels either. Neither is that one...

    I'd like to have the one I did back now, last I saw it was on the shoulder of a young shooter that just bought it at the Calgary gun show in 2010. My friend had died and that was how I found out...
