It's been a while since I've been here, but I just have to show this!
I just received my Grandfather's sportered SMLE. He got it in the early 50s in a gun trade and in it's time, it has downed a fair share of deer. My Uncle tells me it has not been fired in 15 years or so. What I do know about it is that it's a 1912 BSA No.1 MkIII, spent some time with the R.A.F., DP marked, complete volley sights, full length barrel, mag cutoff, and mismatched bolt. What I am having trouble with are the many stamps on the receiver and knox form. So, here I present some pictures for the experts out there to help me decipher my heirloom! Plans are to round up some forward wood and metal pieces to bring it back to it's former glory. Thanks for any new info that anyone can provide!
