Another SMLE restore

[Pblatzz]

I couldn't resist, Lou's having all the fun.

And a carbine I made from a barrel that was buldged at the muzzle and a warped beech stock.

great work...

love the little carbine, very ###y

I should try my hands on this kind of restoring, looks like a lot of fun.

Now we all just waiting for a range report !

Really like the No.1 Mk.3. You and Lou are truly milsurp heroes!

 

[Pblatzz]

some parts are getting harder to find. The earlier nose caps are getting hard to find, I see lots of the later design.

Now we need to chose a model designation for the short one, with that nose cap. No4 MkIII*? (good work on the wood there)

Yeah, it takes a lot to take me away from refurb duty, but... I have a ticket to Whistler, and as if it's that's not cool enough, it's for work!!!

Wish I could attend some Women's biathlon event ...but I doubt I'll have time

Pblatzz, I should see what spare parts I have, that carbine looks more and more cool every time I look at it. It's growing on me... damn you!
