150g SPFB Sierra Game King
I had 5 at one time - now down to 3. A 52 Faz No.4MkII, 1950 GRI 303 (was a wire wrap that I unwrapped...) and a 1916 No.1MkIII. I had a 1902 No.1MkI** and a 40's No1MkI.
Great shooters. The only complaint that I have is that the ammo is harder to get - the milsurp ammo I mean. I like shooting cast boolit loads out of em as they are more accurate than jacketed...
MJ1- that is an outstanding target - and nice smelly too!

Yu want .308 ?
All UK bits too. Just another project I won't find time for, look how fat the .308 barrel is.
Doner receiver is a '53 I think.
Pura Vida

That is a beautiful rifle. I would like to get a couple of SMLE's one day. On the top of my list would be an Austrlian and Canadian one. Or an sniper one if I found one I could aford.

I'll play.
Bought this as a basket case "Bubba Speacial" for about a hundred OOD. The stock was "modified" extensively complete with a screwed on remington recoil pad, the front sight had the ears and bayo lug ground off, it was tapped fer' a scope, the rear sight was removed, and to top it off... the phosphate black finish on the gun was wire wheeled off and then cold blued.
After ALOT of work it looks like this. It took awhile scraping together parts from all over the net and some gunshows, fixing the taps ad puttng it all together, then taking it to Rocky Mountain Arms for their Bear Coat in Classic Gloss black.
Looks pretty good.
