    Rifle arrived. Bubba has gotten to it but I think I can make a decent hunting rifle out of it. Some moron tried to mount sights that are dovetailed in the barrel. Rear is a botch job that I will have to fill. Front sight is worse. Barrel is 26 inch and is in fact a .303 Britishicon. Due to buggy whip contour of barrel barrel wall is too thin for the dovetail, the exact reason that originals had a banded front sight. Will remove 1.5 or 2.0 inches from barrel and recrown. From what I can see it is an original M10 SPORTER cambered in .303 which is unusual. Stock is cut out for the original M10 rear sight but long gone. Will try to mount scope, bore is very good. Action is very slick. Not very Christian but I hope something bad happens to the guy who hacked it up. Apparently can't post pics directly only attachments.
