Lithgow restoration

Post by RJPS » Thu Jun 02, 2005 7:59 am

Just finished restoring a '42 Lithgow. I had picked up a stock/hardware set on spec. a while back. Nice wood, but it had been heavily varnished. Responded very well to chemical stripping, didn't have to do any sanding before rubbing down with BLO. Clear butt markings for 1942. Advertised, and found a sported '42 Lithgow! All matching barreled action in very nice condition, almost all original finish, and a very shootable bore. The rifle has a very presentable appearance. Its a bitser, of course, but still a very decent representative specimen, that should shoot very well. I have got to learn how to post photos.
