    New member, No 5 Mk 1 rifle owner.

    Just purchased a No5 in Ontario and the transfer is just finishing and now a postal strike looms!

    This is my first milsurp and I'm excited by this new aspect of my shooting sports. I did serve in the Artillery Militia but trained with the FN of course.

    The rifle is a BSA Shirley manufactured gun from 1945. In pictures it appears complete and as issued. I'll post proper info and pics when it arrives here in Calgary.

    The plan is to shoot the rifle and not alter it in any way. I just added cast bullets to my hobby so i think it will be a cast shooter from day1 with me.
