First full wood 1918 BSA #1 mk3 and full wood 1917 in 30/06

Score at red deer , not real pretty , but shoot point of aim at 160 yard with factory production 180 grain soft points Hard to complain about that (Not even beat the brass up badly )

Love those old SMLEs.

Love those old SMLEs.

Yep I want another now lol...
It is a 1918 BSA SMLE , numbers matching on bolt receiver and nose.
Gungy and dirty around all the edges like it has not been apart in many many years

From the condition of the wood I would say both saw action

Good score!

The M1917 is a great, often under appreciated rifle. The one i have is one of the best shooters i've had the chance to handle.

Oh yes , it is a good shooter
Glad i bought both .
Thank you for helping show me about the Lee Enfield last night.
I never thought of the numbers on bolt and nosecone
