And it's being fired by my trusty SMLE MkIII* With and without it's 1907 bayonet to see what difference it makes

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.
