I received these pictures from a very good friend who is an occasional poster here, but the owner of the rifle in question is not a member here. I have invited him to join when he finds time. In the meantime, here are some pictures of his LSA Lee Speed 303 rifle:

The Lee Speed is circa 1920 and is stunning with a mirror bore. From what I can find out, LSA finished them off to a higher standard than other makers - I enclose a few more pics and yes, please forward to your US friend. I include one of the case and yes, the escutcheon initials match. This one has unusual features such as a front cross bored lug by the rear sight group that must have picked up the foward mount of a scope and the charger bridge is knurled on the top face to reduce glare. I have a period Kahles scope to go on it when I can get around to designing and fabricating a mount to pick up on that lug but as to the rear mount - heaven knows?? I just can't bring myself to drill in holes in such a peach of a .303.

Good hunting, everyone!
