    NoMk111 restore

    My last restoration was with a No1Mk111 Lithgowicon and a BSA No1Mk111, the BSA was an all matching sporterized rifle with a good bore.
    The Lithgow unfortunately had a very corroded bore and a cracked receiver and failed the headspace test miserably, but was a complete rifle.
    I took both rifles apart and began fitting the Lithgow wood and metal onto the BSA,
    I shimmed the barrel at the sling band and then under the nosecap and assembled the rifle, it shot right at two inches at 100 yds.
