Lithgow SAF No 1 .22 bolt action rifle

cantom · Oct 1, 2014

I've owned a few Lithgows, both FN's and SMLE's. Don't any more but do like the make.

So when I saw this for sale just couldn't resist.

I've never seen one before, has anyone else?

Maybe a common item in Australia, like a .22 Cooey single shot here?

A cool little action and very different than anything else I've seen before.

Bore is mint.

I wonder if it was a mil trainer or a civilian rifle?

Quite common in NZ & Australia, a very under-rated .22 thats is well known over here for very good to excellant accuracy.
