I have been hunting for a Lee-Speed for some time and finally ran across this one yesterday at a gun show in Sioux Falls SD. It was made by WW Greener on a BSA Lee-Speed. It is quite nice with all the neat attributes including a full rib on the barrel. The best part is the bore and chamber are near mint.

Very nice!

I assume it is in .303 (they also came in 8x50R - for India - and .375” x 2 1/2”)

The one I had was in 8x50R. For India makes a lot of sense. Still regret passing it on.

Beautiful rifle. The rib is very classy. Let us know how it shoots!

Always worth bringing up a thread about Lee-Speed's. However I have another motive.

I am very much in the search to acquire a box of collector's ammo to go with my Speed. I am looking for a Red & Yellow box of Kynoch 303 British cartridges. If there is a chance you could assist please let me know. Thanks.
