About a week or so ago I traded into a later model Lee Speed type rifle minus the Speed name which I have learned means the rifle was produced after the patents expired in or around 1910 to 1914 according to those smarter than I. Any information that can be given/shared to help me identify this rifle and posibily the year of manufacture would be appreciated. One person I talked to placed this rifle in the 1906 production year but again I cannot confirm. The rifle does have BSA markings but other things I have determined is the forestock is a replacement from a SMLE and the rifle I think has been rebarreled at some point with what I was told was a MkI military barrel. Other than that it seems tight, it passes headspace checks and the bore cleaned up well. I was also told the barrel is reversed tapered and so that is new to me and I continue to learn Lee Enfield stuff everyday. http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t415/mtbikerwvu/001-1_zpsb752339f.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t415/mtbikerwvu/002-1_zps0471e28d.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t415/mtbikerwvu/003-1_zps369ca9a9.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t415/mtbikerwvu/004_zpsc1509f1a.jpg http://i1058.photobucket.com/albums/t415/mtbikerwvu/005_zps85579976.jpg |
