I’ve always wanted a legitimate Lee-Speed sporting rifle. Just like most, the urge hit after seeing “Ghost in the Darkness”. A little over a year ago, I happened to spot on tucked under a Boys anti tank rifle at a gun show. The price was about right, so it came home with me. The front sight insert was damaged, and will eventually be replaced with a more suitable replacement, but for now an insert from a shot out Mauser barrel I had seems to work quite well with a fine sight hold as I prefer. I do wish I could an original front sight hood, but I know I’ll simply have to make a few from scratch instead, hopefully one will look proper. There are no Lee Speed patents on the rifle, and judging by the proofs I’m lead to believe it is an interwar built rifle, likely of the late 1920s. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |
