1910 SMLE for restoratation..

[bigduke6]

This arrived today, have got my work cut out on this one, compared to the last bubba,d one i got, the butt is quite a work of art.

(the last bubba,d SMLE was a No1 MkV and is nearly finished, pics in the Restorers corner forum)

Its a 1910 No1 Mk111, original barrel (missing 3"), the action has had a few drills through for a mount, see pic, charger bridge missing, interesting bit is the N (Naval) on the left side.

I knew it had the mount on, and was looking at making another mount, to make a repro WW1 sniper rig. The barrel i was going to extend and sleeve with a .22 liner, and use on the MkV but as its matched may leave it with this.
