Lithgow Small Arms Lithgow .410 Shotgun Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

In 1949 a .410 single shot bolt action shotgun was built on the SMLE action at Lithgow Small Arms Factory. Some 6600 were produced and marketed by Slazenger. It uses the 303 SMLE action and is fitted with a military steel barrel. The butt and rear sight are standard 303 fittings while the fore-end and foresight have been modified. The magazine opening is blanked off and the gun is only a single shot. Production ceased in the late 1950s and there don’t appear to be many around in good condition. The 25" barrel is fine-bored and full-choked to throw close, even pattern, and it's chambered to handle all standard lengths of .410 gauge shells from 2" to 3".
