    Morning all,

    Proper shoot yesterday, all very tight to start with with some very fine scratches in the spent brass, after 20 rounds these started to fade and things loosened up a bit.

    She shoots like a brand new rifle, even the spring resistance on the bolt feels stiffer than my other Enfields.

    Printing 3" nice round groups at 100yds, just fine by me.

    80 rounds down range yesterday before moving to the comparatively gentle shove of my L1A1.

    Boy do the Carbines heat up fast!

    Very happy indeed with the No5, just a blast to shoot (both figuratively and literally)!
