    sporterised early SMLE

    came across this today. Looks like an easy restoration?

    Wow...yes, that could be done. Lots of promise there to return a scarce rifle to service dress. Jump and grab...

    sadly can't

    I'd love to, but can't bid as live in the EU and excluded from the auction. Very frustrating.

    Thought it would be of interest to someone here though, with the volley sight, and undamaged stock.

    Very fair. Between the volleys, sliding charger head, and the rear sight there's more than what was paid in those parts alone. Everything else is a nice bonus on top.
