Title: Picked up a "Smelly"
Post by: Tuolumne Lawman on August 06, 2021, 08:33:49 PM

I just picked up a really nice 1927 dated SMLE No.1 MK III with intact magazine cut off.  Really clean with good bore. Has some Arabic stamps on it.

Looking forward to the photos   

I load Trail Boss and use a coated bullet from Missouri Bullet Co.  for mine

Green with envy one of the holes in my collection

Been wrestling with a 1942 ‘B’ smle dispersion rifle trying to replace a wrecked forestock with a replacement semi inlet forestock. It’s been a real trial for sure. Getting closer though. Doesn’t smell any worse than any of my other British weapons.

Nice Major deux! Hope mine looks half as good and shoots half a minute of sass marshal.
