About LinkBacksI picked this Lithgow SMLE No 1. MK III* up from a forum member.
I’m going to debubbfy it, ie restore it back to full wood.
As you may know, the replacement SMLE wood is hard to find.
I have a repro set on order and a permit request in for the missing parts.
In the meantime I took it to the range yesterday and fired it for the first time.
First iron sights shot with factory S&B 150gn softpoints was 2 inches left and 1 inch low.
The rain then came down and my next shots dropped a bit, but she’s going to be a good’un.
