Lithgow Mark 3

Looks like a fairly honest rifle from what can be seen in the photo's. There was a very short period in WWII where Lithgow stopped fitting the recoil plates in the draws. They soon went back to fitting them. If your forend is matching, which it appears to be, you would be fairly unlucky to have one without the plates fitted. Replacement forends fitted after the rifles were sold out of service is another story. As A Square said, there's nothing wrong with coach wood. If the bore is in good shape and the stock doesn't have any major cracks, I'd buy a rifle like that if I was looking. If you do make the purchase, post some detailed photographs of the markings and we should be able to tell you what they all mean.

I doubt that you will have problems with confiscation with the next gouvernment; I don't think they are that stupid.  It would be the 2nd American Civil war if they did. 

I expect it's more scare mongering from people who want anarchy!

Yes he's both said that a repeated it.

But Beato is actively saying "he!! yes! kick down your door & come & take them"!

Biden (so far) only wants to tax & register them all to make Beto's job easier later.

there is only one difference between a socialist and a marxist/communist.  marxists take power thru violent revolution.  socialists take power thru control of the vote.  the end result is the same.  oppressive control by the state (the state is the privileged few at the top), suppression or imprisonment and execution of dissenters.  

the socialists got control of the vote by taking over our schools and universities and brain washing children  this started in the 50's and has reached a crescendo.
