My LGS called me and said they got in a Enfield. I drove over and found this Lithgow waiting for me so I took it home. Hopefully some of you can tell me if I got beat or not.
It looks like it was put together in 1943 I guess they were not too concerned about a nice finish. The stock is roughly finished and the metal is painted black.
No import mark. Excellent bore.
Hand guards are MA 41 marked. Butt stock 1942. I did not check the forestock.
Receiver 1941.
Bolt shoulder serial (70562) matches receiver but does not have the B prefix. Number on top of the bolt is 60780. L on the front bolt shoulder.
Nose cap bayonet lug is unmarked, there's no provision for a stacking swivel, and it's BA marked.
The bottom of the rear sight is marked OA 43.
I guess that's the high points. Hopefully the pics will help.
