    Second date.....I think we are working things out in this relationship!

    OK, decided to start a new thread ....this is a follow up to my barrel/flash eliminator issues on my inch pattern L1A1.
    1-got some great advice here
    2- Bought a new "reproduction" barrel from L1A1 Aussie FAL Reproduction Barrel | Sarges Military Surplus
    3-sent it off to Bruce Dow for intallation: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dow-A...55743487797921
    4-went to the range this morning.
    Here is my second target at 50 yards with the reflex sight. Not too bad, I think.
    (I did not bring my combo tool, so I could not adjust the front sight. I could not do much with the battle sights accuracy wise. I will need to study up on how to zero them for next time.)
    So here is my range report:
    -since I was trying out my "repro Aussie" barrel...I dressed her in Aussie wood furniture.
    -50 yards, off the bench, Federal Lake City 149 gr ammo.
    - yes, 3 rounds.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Great start Trooper, do a bit more brass conversion with her to settle down the new barrel and push her out to 100 yds.

    All looking great so far.
