Checked on the Lee-Speed with my gun shop today. He said he had just received a consignment but it wasn't in it. :cry:
He rang the export agent in the U.K. and let me speak to him - they did't Have a Lee-Speed for shipment, only 2 Lee-Enfields............ :( :( :(
He asked me the serial number but as I wasn't at home I couldn't check.
I telephoned them again when I got home and they have got it in their Section 5 Lockup ready to send with the next batch to my mate!"

I feel a lot better now although Brexit is getting in the way and will probably up the cost......... :loco:

Well... at least it wasn't "lost" in the mail....even though it actually has been to a large extent. Good luck in the greater possibility of finally getting your hands on it while you are still alive and well. :loco:

At least it looks like it is in the pipeline and heading your way.

It's probably appreciated in value while you wait. It's your 401K account that you never knew you had. :loco:

Maybe Santa will bring it this year to make up for last year when it was dead in the pipeline.
