Thread: lee speed copy

csmiffy,

Lee Speeds were made on both the Lee Metford and Enfield actions. They were produced in many variants of metal work and stock work. Some quite plain and others ornate, engraved and with fully ribbed barrels. Originally they all seem to have had light forends with long barrels for balance and for a decent sight radius I suspect. I had a H version Lithgow target barrel on mine. Balanced well. These would be about a 3 contour in modern profiles. I reckon you need a bit of steel here particularly if you want less than the std 26”? .303 length.

Something to think about anyway.
