Great pic Charlie, hard thing to photograph!
I have to say your SMLE is a lovely dispersal example.

I didn't doubt you Charlie, just not seen very often and I don't think I've ever held one. That bore looks about perfect...

Thanks Jim. Pretty rare I guess, it's the only one I've ever seen.

Trying to keep it that way, but it was made to be used.

Shooting a few won't hurt it. Care and cleaning after...

My rifle, which appears to be entirely unmolested and not FTR'd, has a beech No4 butt fitted. The butt has no manufacturer stamp or other mark, and is a close colour and patina match for the beech forend and handguards on the rifle.

Thanks for sharing Thunderbox, perhaps we should start a dispersal rifle survey, like our recently started No5 thread
It would be interesting to bring all this information together in one place.
