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.

That is a fine gift and I’m astounded at the condition. Well done, sir! And Merry Christmas.

“ Enlightenment is man’s emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one’s own understanding without another’s guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one’s own mind without another’s guidance.” — Immanuel Kant

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.
