Imho this Lee – Speed was rebarreled sometimes, using an ex – military barrel, just as mine. Mine now has a barrel from a No. 1 Mk III* SMLE. No change of inletting was necessary. Just the sights, sling loop and foreend screw socket had to be reinstalled.

Thanks. What scope is that? Do you have a pic of how it's mounted.

And yes, rebarreling was common when necessary.

I'm curious about the rifle's first barrel.

The 1908 Catalog for the Number 3

would seem to imply that 30" Lee barrels were fitted
