safetyfirst Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 For sale, a Lee Metford .303 converted to a .410. It's in ok condition considering its age (Made in 1898). Good bore, some external marks towards the end of the barrel, shoots straight as a nail, tightly choked. This gun has the original single shot plate installed, a breeze to load and fire, light, good training shotgun. Bolt, safety, mechanics etc all work perfectly, no rust anywhere. SGC required, transfer to RFD possible, gun can be viewed at Field and Stream of Ashbourne, Derbyshire, who have it on their shelf there for me. £180 or open to offers.

safetyfirst Posted November 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 If only you was closer! Happy to do a transfer to your RFD if you're willing to foot the costs, it's usually £25-50 for a transfer. Thanks, Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you interested? chris. I am interested as i'm looking for a 410 and fancy something different, my problem is i live in south Wales i don't think sending the gun by RFD would be worth it as the cost would make the gun expensive, the other problem is the lenth, my Xtrema2 only just fits in my gun cabinet(old) and this gun seems quite long to, I have just looked at the lenths of the Lee Metford mkII rifle and most sites state 49.5 inches so will check tonight againt my Xtrema and go from there....cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
