    So, I desporterized this NRF No1Mk3*...

    A few months ago, I acquired a sporter No1MK3*, which bears the not-too-common "NRF" mark. Granted, it's not pristine - some minor specks of rust, bore is ok but not stellar; but, it's number-matching (bolt, receiver, barrel, rear sight), and it is a NRF after all, so it surely must deserve to be de-sporterized, right? (in my very humble opinion).

    Ok I admit, it does have a forend which proudly wears the infamous ishy-screw, but beggers can't be choosers; that was a forend in good shape and - more importantly - I had it in my shop.

    Still don't know how it shoots, but hoping to find out this coming weekend (if it's not -30 degrees and if my bronchitis gives me a break).

    Cheers!

    Lou
