Now I've got a new camera I thought I'd do a bit of playing with it. So here is the latest addition, the SMLE in .22 Hornet.

Certainly its no lightweight being built on the SMLE action. Here it is compared to the 1915 EFD MkIII.

While the bolt isn't numbered it does retain a Lithgow batching assembly number, although not the same as on the rifle.
