FIRST 'SERIOUS' SHOOT ON SUNDAY.......
........since Covid and the house move.
Got 88 rounds of .303 British to shoot. And it's being fired by my trusty SMLE MkIII* With and without it's 1907 bayonet to see what difference it makes
Should be a fun afternoon

Re: FIRST 'SERIOUS' SHOOT ON SUNDAY.......
WELLLLLLLLLLLLL!
Arrived at the range, Dry, no sun and no wind. Target at 50 mtrs.
Charged the mag with 10 rounds. Chambered the first round but could not close the bolt!
Extractor not screwed home fully
Hell of a job to remove the bolt but finally managed. Screwed the extractor fully home and re assembled.
Rounds jow feed as smoothly as before - beautiful action.........
Sight set at 200 yds aimed at the bull..............Initial rounds in the black and then the started to drop
Check the backsight and thi has moved back past the 200 yd mark because of worn notches but the rounds are still central and so a good afternoon.
