As mentioned by Dromia in a previous post new member Serenity has been renovating a No.1 Mk111* SMLE.

Today was his first shoot with the finished project and he was a little, shall we say, "apprehensive" if she was going to be a decent shooter .

In the event he need have had no worries as accuracy was perfectly acceptible.

First shot.

Group at 100m, not bad for 1st time out.

Perhaps Serenity would like to elaborate on the history behind his first full bore rifle?

Over to you Damon........
