Lee Speed restoration











Nice old Lee Speed rifle, BSA&Co, very nice walnut stock on her...as far as I can tell everything including the magazine is original on her, except I think she has been rebarrelled with a barrel from a Lee Enfield MLE. (which at least is period correct..) It has the early military sights. The original sights are not available to me. The bore has some throat erosion but is otherwise excellent.

I have been looking for one for a while. A few years back I passed on a Westley Richards Lee Speed, because it had been rebarrelled with a SMLE barrel and had those great big rear sights on it which looked way out of place.
But this one I was thinking of putting some folding leaf express sights from NECGS on it, and a ramp and bead foresight, to bring it back to something like its original configuration. Or I could just leave it like this. What do you guys think?
