1917 Lithgow 'Marksman' SMLE rifle
Here's a close look at a 1917 SMLE with a fascinating history. It came very close to destruction this year before being rescued, to be tidied up and displayed.

Newbie No.1 Mk3 Question - Pics included
Hi all, thanks in advance.
I'm currently in the process of acquiring my first firearm, and need a little help. My interest is primarily in Military Surplus rifles, in this case I'm looking for a Lee Enfield.
I'm flexible on the variant but I do like the No.1 MK3's. A guy local to me just so happens to have one for sale, and sent me over some pictures. The problem is, I'm not entirely sure on the value so wanted to get some opinions.
He has described the bore as "great", and I'll be able to confirm that when I have a look at it in person later this week. It's a bit beat up, 2 cracks visible in the photos. Asking Price is $750 CAD

Lost Cause?
I got this 1909 No.1 MkIII basically free when I bought a (sadly bubba’d) Savage made US Property marked No.4 MkI, and I’m not sure what to do with it. It’s pretty ratty, the barrel is toast, the stock is trash, the rear sight was taken off, and the charger bridge was chopped and the receiver was tapped to fit a peep sight. This thing doesn’t seem worth it to restore, and I’m not sure how I would even go about putting a new charger bridge on it. Is it too far gone? Would it be sacrilege for me to bore out the barrel to use as a .410 and/or shave the rest of the charger bridge off and refinish it? I’m not incredibly well versed in Enfields so any input is appreciated.

Enfield mag with 410 shells. All four feed just fine and smooth like normal rifle rounds.

Prestigious Wood Stocks question
I just purchased a sporterized 1917 SMLE No. 1 Mk III*, and I am trying to track down some furniture. I found PWS and am having trouble finding out if their Mk III stock set would be appropriate. I emailed and asked and they said it would be so, but upon looking at their customer photos and watching videos about their stocks it seems as if they are all Mk III, not MkIII* as they claimed in their response. Does anyone have any experience with them?
