    The best thing to do with it is find the correct furniture for it return it to military spec and sell it there are plenty of .303 collectors that will
    pay silly money for a .303 in military uniform, most .303's are a waste of time their barrels are stuffed from 70 year old mil spec ammo
    the triggers are not very good to be honest they are crap, They are not a good rifle for a first centre fire sell it and buy a nice .243 or .308
    if you are not experienced with centre fire go for the .243 it has less recoil than the .303 or .308 is much easier to shoot well and you are less likely
    to develop a flinch,
    I am not down on .303's I have a BSA sporter .303 and I sell a heap of cast bullets to .303 shooters but there are much better rifles out there
    for the first or third gun leave the .303 for a project further down the track
    ChrisW and Crispyman like this.
