Hi,
It is the same one, and they replaced the barrel in it. I had a look at it last April and knocked it back for less than this with the old barrel and no sights. It has been drilled for a mount.
Regards

Hello,

I'm the happy buyer of that rifle, it went for 4100 SEK which is about $630. It's the first one I've seen for sale in Sweden. I've never seen or handled a Lee Speed so it will be great to see it when it arrives. Unfortunately it takes about 3 months to get a license here in Sweden, but when it gets here I'll make sure to post pictures.

Thanks!

It is not, but I'm a keen handloader and components for .303 seems to be easy to find. Will probably start with a simple 174 grains RN bullet to get started. I will keep you updated!

Thanks again,
Lars

You might as well go straight to the 215 grain round nose slugs the rifle was sighted for. Woodleigh makes them.

"These scarce rifles were manufactured with the same action as the Winchester-Lee Straight Pull Rifle adopted by the U.S. Navy in 1895 and are chambered for the .236 U.S.N. cartridge. This rifle is 1 of only approximately 1,700 sporting rifles manufactured by Winchester. The included factory letter confirms sporting rifle configuration, 6 mm caliber, fancy checkered stock, shotgun butt, and that it was received in and shipped out to order number 32215 on July 20, 1899. The left side of the receiver has the two line address/patent dates marking, and the serial number is on top of the front receiver ring. The left side of the barrel is marked with the nickel steel/smokeless powder marking, and the top of the barrel at the breech is marked ".236 U.S.N." Pinned blade front sight, elevation adjustable rear sight and one-piece deluxe highly figured multi-point checkered walnut stock with forearm grasping grooves, hard rubber Winchester grip cap and hard rubber Winchester shotgun buttplate.

"Manufactured in 1904, this is 1 of only approximately 1,700 Winchester-Lee Sporting rifles manufactured. The Winchester-Lee rifle was adopted by the U.S. Navy in 1895 and chambered for the then revolutionary 6mm Lee (.236) cartridge. The top of the barrel ahead of the rear sight is marked with the two line address, the left rear next to the rear sight has the nickel steel/smokeless powder marking and ".236 U.S.N." on top at the breech. The serial number is marked on top of the front receiver ring and the left side of the receiver is marked with the two line address/patent dates. Rapid taper barrel with a brass blade front and adjustable rear sporting sights. Mounted with a smooth one-piece walnut pistol grip stock with grasping grooves on the forearm, hard rubber Winchester grip cap and a steel shotgun buttplate. The accompanying factory letter verifies the sporting rifle configuration, caliber, that it was received into the warehouse on April 19, 1904 and shipped to order number T112912 on June 25, 1904."

Thank you Lancaster, you do us all a great service by keeping these in their respective lots.
It's a fantastic way of correlating all that historical information to preserve for later generations to admire.
I hope this finds you all well, if not bored out of your mind unable to shoot; guess this is the next best thing to that!

Thanks for posting. 8MM lee speed has been on my want list for years! They seem to be very rare in North America.

just look what happens with this, ended for 1088 euro whats high here for such an exotic bolt action but alex martin was a respected scottish gunmaker and it shoots the 8x50R mannlicher still in use by some austrian hunter

some years ago there was a plain lee speed in 8x50R in auction that ends for +/- 300 euro here. still regret I dont bid on this rifle then.
