A dug up SMLE battlefield shooter

[Roger Payne]

Hi John,
Thanks for yours. I just posted something on your 4T thread but hadn't seen your comments re not making the motorcycle museum, so please ignore me! I suppose being on the IoM means that for some legal purposes you are 'abroad'?? I'd forgotten where you were based.

Unfortunately I shall be over on the battlefields again from next Tuesday till 1st October (grown up sons will be home but you won't get any sense out of them!) so won't be able to get to Stoneleigh, which is a shame as it's just up the road from me. I've been roped into helping on a battlefield project for a few days & will also grab a day or two field walking, so don't anybody feel sorry for me! I shall be as happy as a pig in poop.

I did mention some additional photo's of your 4T in the other thread - if you are able to do them, it might take us a little nearer to deciding the originality of the rifle. (That's if you want to....I guess if it shoots ok & you don't mind, then it doesn't matter).
