This one was put together out of parts that were laying around the LGS shelves, so she has been resurrected you could say :hunting: .

Ok, I'll accept that one. :P A full wood No 1 MkIII is IMO one of the most beautiful rifles ever. I'm borrowing a mates Lithgow this Sunday for a Combined services shoot until I get my own, which will be soon. :D

I like what you have done with that old 303 mate if you built it from parts!

Now get out there on a motorbike and chase some pigs down with it!

What type of front sight is on it? It does not look like any military sight I have seen for them.

Good eye for detail mate. What its off i have no idea, picked it up out of a box of bits n pieces at Orange gun show for a whole dollar, he even gave me a receipt for it :wink: . Needs to be fitted a bit better which i will do, stops the front sight getting hooked on stuff well.
