    Lee Metford

    Hi all,

    Just thought I would share my new bush hunting rifle for NZicon bush hunting
    I purchased this old Enfield 18 months ago, only to find out I have purchase a Lee Metford MkII

    The barrel is average but the rifling for a Metford is a good condition
    All matching numbers

    I managed to find all the parts I needed, only one left to find
    Fitting the wood was the biggest challenge

    Its taken at 12 months, but shes ready for some target practice, finishing the custom loads this weekend


    Im happy with the result
    regards

    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.

    Bravo Zulu!

    Worthy task. Noble result. It speaks of the character revealed by adversity. Thank you for what you did. On another forum some are still trying to justify the utter destruction of an old rifle simply because it could be done.
