Another restored SMLE

[louthepou]

Hi folks,

Well my supply of No1Mk3 parts isn't getting larger, but I managed to get the parts to restore this SMLE. The sporterized rifle had a WW1-dated receiver, and was ftr'ed in 1953; the bore is really nice, so I thought it'd be good to bring this one back to its original configuration.

Other than the fact that a few parts are "DP" stamped (rear handguard, butt stock, rear sight guard), I think it turned out ok. Gotta test it at the range though... before being happy with it!

Nice job. I enjoy seeing these old war babies restored back to their original appearance.
