Saw a very nice 1941 Lithgow SMLE Mk. III at a a gun show today here in Oregon. Haven't seen such a lovely example in years. Didn't quite have the jack to buy it.  There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | ||

Most of my rugby mates work at the small arms factory in Lithgow (wife comes from there). They have a very good museum at the front gates if your ever in the area Bill. ------------------------------ A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!" | |||

Bakes, I noticed that Lithgow is still in business. I was surprised. Sambarman, I am embarrassed to say I didn't quite have the $425 US they were asking. No fun being gun-poor. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

Bakes, wonder if they are making those actions for Springfield Armory. Had no idea. We shoot a lot of great Australian powders here, of course. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

They may have been Bill. They tried to have a go at making a lever action shot gun but I believe the cast actions were bending, so they had to make them fatter and machine down to size. I don't think it worked out as a cost effective method. ------------------------------ A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?"
