An Alexander Henry Lee Metford Sporting Rifle?
11/04/13 12:54 PM

Here are a couple of photos taken of the Alexander Henry I brought back from the Tulsa Arms show this past weekend. Sorry for the poor quality of photos as it was done with my smart phone under horrible lighting. I'll include better photos here and on my site if there is any further interest.

The specifics:
Knox form marked "A. Henry Edinburgh". LSA manufactured. Forearm is of Alexander Henry's style with side panels and forend tip shaped in wood (as opposed to a horn tip done in such fashion). Butt stock is of standard military fashion with military butt plate; however, the grip has been checkered to match the forearm. Island base with 1 standing and 2 folding leafs. The ladder is missing, but I will get busy with making a replacement soon enough. Simple ramp front sight, that has had a very rudimentary front sight placed into it. I'll file up a proper caterpillar front sight once I shoot it with my favorite load of 215 grain Woodleighs, and get my calculations for the height correct. Safety is missing, but appears it was once there. 5 round magazine. No engraving. Military marks on the barrel as well.

It appears to be of a lower grade offering, but still exceedingly interesting in my book.

So, fellow Lee Speed aficionados, would this actually be an example of a Lee Metford that has been worked over by Alexander Henry as opposed to a commercial Lee Speed done so?
