LRF,
I would love to help but due to deterioration of walking ability I have pretty much stopped going to gun shows with my buddies. They are ready to go home before I can get halfway through, even with my rollator. Driving by myself is not a problem, but if I go with them, I wouldn't have to walk from the parking lot. Not only am I sorry, but I miss the shows anyway.

Can you buy one from a foreign company and legally have it shipped to the USA?

Here's an English company that has some.

They say they will ship internationaly but are not responsible for the import laws/restrictions in the buyers Country\
.. I've never had any dealings with them

Thanks Kutter I will give them a try, nothing ventured nothing gained. smile

Update: I thought I had looked at this supplier a few weeks back and remembered when I tried to place an order. When you do It comes up out of stock. Ok its a dead end. I will try to contact them next week either by email or phone and see if they think they will be getting any in and update with any news I get.

Thanks Kutter, however of course still looking smile

LRF, I greatly enjoyed this thread on the Steyr-Mannlicher rebuild and was happy to see you found a W. W. Greener Lee-Speed.

Lee-Speeds have clearly gone up in value on this side of the pond since I last owned one about 50 years ago, but I was surprised by the asking price on this one.

It has the slot for the magazine cut-off but as a sporting rifle that may never have been fitted (or soon thrown away?).

I gave a friend, as a wedding present, a Lee-Speed Officer’s Carbine with all the sporting features but stocked almost to the muzzle with a nose cap to take the Pattern 1888 Bayonet.

Wow! Back in the early 70s I had a Speed like that but it was in 8x50R Mannlicher. Cost about $100. Shot really well. I always liked it but it managed to get traded off.
