Cover your eyes — he’s gonna open it!

[P0H0]

Hello! I just joined the forum and thought I would drop in to say hello. I am going to share my weekend experience unwrapping and cleaning a No4 Mk2 (May 1955 Mummy). I know some of you will cringe, but I really enjoyed the experience and will be hitting the range next week.

All my rifles are shooters (conserved, restored, and sometimes if required reset) — I strive to keep them in excellent condition.

There is a lot of photos so I make a quick link so you can view them on iCloud HERE.

I hope you enjoy the photos and look forward to sharing and learning with the community.
