Description:
Serial #C11259, .303 British, 25" barrel with a very good, bright bore that has some minor freckling within the grooves. This is a 1941 dated rifle that has retained 85-90% of the original matte blue finish on the barrel, receiver, and matching numbered bolt, that has silvered along the high edges and projections. The nosecap is also matching, and is missing the transverse screw below the front sight. The wooden stock and handguards are in fine condition with minor handling marks and and small surface blemishes scattered about the military oil finish. The buttstock is numbered to the gun on the right side, with “MA / 11/44" as well. The brass buttplate has a darker brown-ochre patina and the stock compartment is empty. This is a fine WW2-dated Lithgow SMLE overall. ** As you can see by the last photo the nose cap number is matching except the last number is a "6" instead of a "9". it would seem that whomever stamped the number inverted the 9 on the cap.
