Thread: A Free .303

Greetings All,
Today was a crappy day here in HB, a good day to potter about in the shed. As previously reported I was given an old No1 Lee Enfield a few weeks back. As you can see it's a bit rough but the inside of the barrel gleams like new. After a post on the Forum @JohnDuxbury sent me a Parker Hale base which I have fitted.. The base dovetails were an early narrow type which did not fit any of the rings I had so a Weaver base my son gave me was fitted on top. The scope is an old Japanese made Tasco 2.5 power that has been sitting in the cupboard for ages fitted in rings that were given to me earlier in the year. There are suitable loads in the ammo cupboard (from a rifle I gave away) so as soon as the weather clears some loud noises will be made. I still have to fit some QD sling bases but then the almost 80 year old rifle will be ready for a ritual walk in the hills, some of the flatter stuff mind.
Regards Grandpamac.
