A 1945 Enfield SMLE that is unissued, unfired and chambered in .22LR from the Lithgow factory.

Our older brother has done countless things for us. Even when he was exhausted, beat down with MANY other more important issues at hand. He has ALWAYS come through with zero expectations in return.

Well, how do you repay someone who had literally done it all for you?

I hope he likes this. I got promoted to director this year and could afford to get him anything he desired. Last year I got him a super nice Swiss Watch, so he didn't want a Rolex or Omega.

Whether he enjoys it at the range or as a safe queen, that Enfield is a fantastic Christmas present!

Beautiful!!! What a great gift. I have one albeit not in that nice of shape and made in 1917 by BSA reworked into a trainer by Parker-Hale. They shoot great!! Lithgow made fantastic rifles.

Nicely done.

That's a score for him. Beautiful rifle that he can shoot all day long for $5.


What, me worry?
