Tearing down my new MK 1 before taking to the range.

[5thBatt]

I just spent $$$$s on a 1935 MkIII Lithgow, all looks good, washer still covering stockbolt, at this point people would be saying "it ain't broke, don't fix it"
Well i took it apart as you never know what idiot has been there before, guess what!

Thats right! some moron has tried to undo the stockbolt with the forend in place
Its all very well trying to tell people to leave rifles alone if they look fine in an attempt to stop this type of crap from happening, but unfortunately that boat has long sailed.
