This is a Commercial Long Lee that has been Goverment Viewed

In addition this rifle has a government view mark meaning that it complies with the specification for military rifles that can be used in NRA target shooting competitions.
There was a charge for this inspection which I think was around two shillings and sixpence.
This mark is also normally accompanied by a separate serial or registration number prefixed with a letter.
In thius case the number is G532

The bore has some wear, loss of sharpness & throat erosion, the bore gauges at .305 which is within Military Gauge Limits.

The previous owner commented
I’ve used both Privi 174g & FNM 186g FMJ in it and got 3.5/4 inch groups at 100m. It also likes vintage Kynoch jacketed soft point 174g ammo.
