Just sitting down after a hectic week/weekend of moving, etc so hopefully will have it back together shortly!! Starting to get that 'havent been for a shoot for a while' itch!

Well i finally got around to pulling my lithgow apart to get rid of all the varnish and other gunk the previous owner applied, as well as removing the scope :banghead:

I'd still love to know why it hasnt got the normal...

I will try and post up a picture when i get home at the end of the week (damn working away from home on a mine :( )
It still has the front sight. Everything on the rifle looks original, the number...
