In "Bell of Africa" he says "I acquired two sporting models of the .303, each with the ten shot magazine. In fact they were the military arm with the barrel cut down a bit, and sporting pistol grip stocks. They cost 8 pounds each"
eight pounds was 160 shillings. In my 1913 BSA catalog, 165 shillings would get you a No 3 pattern. ie the basic lee Speed with pistol grip stock.
Does a Lee Speed take a SMLE 10 shot magazine? Or is there, or was there, an optional 10 shot Lee Speed magazine? Lastly were Lee Speeds used as military rifles at some time?
