Lithgow Matching 1942 SMLE

Description

Matching numbered iconic WW2 Aussie battle rifle! Offered for sale is this great example of the iconic Aussie WW2 battle rifle, the SMLE .303 which is in very good condition as can be seen in the photos. All numbers match including the wood, barrel, action, rear sight, bolt & nose cap plus the bore is shiny with deep rifling, so definitely a shooter. It is complete with the original oiler & pull through which as you probably know are usually lost over the years. The stock has 1943 & the action is stamped 1942 which is not unusual & easily explained by the fact that the action was manufactured in 1942 & final assembly occurred in 1943. On this stock is painted the number 7 which we assume was a rack or armoury number. This would make an excellent centrepiece of your collection or the best possible start to one. We are not going to try & rate the condition out of 100 as everyone seems to have a different opinion on what the percentages should be so we’ll let the pictures be the description. You will know if this is for you so view the photos carefully & make your decision based on what you see as they form the main description & override all written information. Ask for more if desired. We think we have described it accurately & correctly but do not claim to be infallible so if we have got anything wrong, it is unintentional. Whilst we check these out for serviceability, the warranty has expired & this is sold on an ‘as is’ basis. As with all used guns, we recommend you have this checked by a suitably qualified person prior to shooting. Call for shipping cost to your dealer.
