T 's back something for the forum
Well have the T back and my teaked Mk III so will try and get to the range and continue the saga.
I have taken some pics of the stockmakers Mk I that he did an English walnut stock for as he had some lying around and thought his Mk I would look good.
He has been a stock maker for 35 years and learned the trade from his Grandfather all by hand and eye as he does not use or own a pantograph.
Sprinter arms did the new barrel for him hand filing the knox form to the correct profile from the old one.
We were a bit rushed as there was another client there waiting for his gear such is this bloke in demand, I also forgot to get pics of the 3 shot clover leaf group this rifle produced at 50m sorry guys.
And I am not driving the 250 klm's one way ta get the pic sorry bout that but I saw the target.
Any way hope you like the pics it is a one of a kind.

Finally the T on the range
Well those that have been following my project will be at last in the know how my BSA No.4 T Shirley performed.
I learnt a few things that it does not like to be shot off the rest as Tgt - 1 shows I was rather worried at this point.
Tgt - 2 shows open sights with the sling so everything was starting to settle including me after Tgt - 1's effort.
Tgt - 3 shows adjusting the drum to coincide with the correct elevation, this is at 25 yds (22.86M) measured with a tape yep I was that pedantic.
This was the target that is for the SMLE for Mk VII ammo from the milsurps site, I left it a bit low due to better trajectory of the SMK :rolleyes: these are running at a projected 2,440fps.
So now all I have to do is build a transit chest if some one can supply me with the plans for one I would appreciate it.
Thanks for your patience guys when I have shot this load a few times I will let you know what it is but it sits at 38,600psi for 2440fps with the 174 SMK.
Thanks to all
