Re: Two types of Lee Speeds

Quote:
Lee Speed, at least according to my definition, which is: a commercially made Lee Metford or Lee Enfield
Maybe a better term than "Lee Speeds" is simply "commercial Lee Enfield."
Admittedly the lines are sometimes blurred, but making it up as you go along...?
Plenty of 'factory' sporters were made up on Lee Metford and Lee Enfield actions, but they are not Lee Speeds, no matter how much you may want them to be!
And who cares? Factory Lee sporters of any kind from the heyday of Empire are all marvellous things!
