Milsurp After Hours

I came back from the Trafalgar Meeting at Bisley with more rifles and ammuntion than I went with. This is my new rifle. It is a RF Short Rifle Mk II. It is converted from a Long Lee Enfield. The butt socket has Crown, VR, Sparkbrook, 1901 LE 1* marked on it. The left side of the butt socket is blank. The numbers on the barrel, bolt and action all match. The sight has a barred out number and the rifle number stamped on it. It has been to the other side of the world as it has the New Zealand mark on it. I will take some closer pics at the week-end. I shot it last night on an indoor 20 yard range. I can't see the sights very well in the lighting there, but after a few rounds I managed to put 9 out of 10 shots in one ragged hole. I like it. Incidentally, after I bought it I noticed a RF Short Rifle Mk I on the next table. I wish I could have bought both.
