I rebuilt this old rifle about a year or so ago with a surplus Mk1 barrel from Sarco and some scrap DP timber that needed the draws replaced and then worked the trigger over a little bit to get a clean break.
It's a 1916 BSA No1 MK III* franken- rifle with a RFI barrel. Anyway after careful fitting to the wood parts and installing a windage adjustable rear sight last night I had it out to the range today.
Loading from the magazine with 10 rounds I was able to get a good score on a SR1 target from prone.
It was a good day to go to the range and not have to fight the weather or roll around in the mud. If I would have my spotting scope with me I could have made some corrections or maybe even done a little better.
Then again if I looked I might have had my eyes start watering or blew it trying to make over corrections. I already dropped one which was the first shot but was able to get back on target and keep it there while working the bolt for follow up shots.
