. Also didn't really understand the picture shown under "Like This" But infere it is a kludge

Stokerphil, just some light hearted humor, The pic "like this" is what I started out with and the top pic is when it was finished see link below

SMLE No1 MkV Restoration (Part's 1 thru 7),

Its what happens when a not so common rifle is turned into to someones prized hunting rifle, I,ve said it a few times but back when this was done was at a time when milsurps were as cheap as chips, and folk altered them to a cheap sporter, again at this time it was more to do with food on the table than will it ever be a collectors peice in years to come.

Yourself didnt get this far but the mention of drills etc and adding a scope mount on a rare old lady brings shivers to a few here, and when its done then your rifle in most cases is worth as much as the one in the bottom pic.
