Absolutely no marks , unfired condition, barrel still has original factory cosmoline grease packed in it , Action was cleaned of grease for id and registration purposes only ,

This is, 1 of 100 that was produced in 1944 for trials as Jungle carbines, accordingly 50 or more , of these were modified into No6 Mk1 trials rifles, in 1945 for actual trials . They are the rarest of the collectable Lithgow produced SMLE rifles, and, as has never been used or issued , would suit collector . I have owned and stored for nearly 40 yrs.
Was the absolute Queen of the safe , and I am genuinely reluctant to part with , but with potential NSW licensing changes , I would prefer to sell ,than have lost to the governments crushers.
