That's right. In the 1970s Woolco sold them as well. All of them were "professionally reworked" by some company. That consisted of removing the upper hand guard/bands and cutting back the forestock. They were also reblued.

I had an emaculate sported Woolco version in my hands a few years back. The owner still had the sales slip from the store!

WRT military surplus rifles, Lovett's original location beside KW Hospital in Kitchener used to have barrels of $5-$40 Lee Enfields, Enfields, Rosses, Mausers, etc. that you could pick through.

Keith Lovett sold his business a couple of years ago and was going to move to Cape Breton. I don't know if he ever did.


Safe Shooting!
