Impulse buy.

[muffett.2008]

Did a flying trip to Penrith for a gunshow, I had pre ordered a couple of rifles and was picking them up from the dealer.
Naturally enough I did the rounds of the stands, a shopping list from club members to fill, when I spotted this one, A 1912 BSA converted? to a .22 Target rifle. not sure if it was a Milsurp action, as I just secured it and the other pickups at home and headed straight off to Brisbane for the Queens, so will get to check it out in a week when I return.

Unusual insomuch as the bracing to the butt, all drilled and tapped, the sights......new to me and basically why I grabbed it, the nice floorplate job, not a rough job, the forewood, not a milsurp........just a downright interesting piece and at $250 Oz a pretty cheap sight that I don't have. Pity the sight stops the bolt from being removed.


Also grabbed a 1922 Lithgow and a 1943 Lithgow, both fullwood, so along with the two I had to pickup, I came home with five SMLE's. The joys of running a collectors club. What I don't want, the lads grab.....thats when they aren't trying to pinch them without me noticing.
