Go shoot some groups and you'll get your awnser.

I dont have a target big enough. Answer? What was the question

Are you shooting quality 303 or WW 1 / 2 surplus?

Just had some of that greek surplus stuff. To be honest i wasnt expecting to much ive got my m38 if i want an accurate military rifle.

It was just fun to take it out and shoot it

I have "some of that greek surplus stuff" and when the masses return to work, will take some along with my #5 down to the range and see what happens. Whatever, some thoughts.............

it was a "jungle" rifle and open spaces don't exist in the jungle, so I don't expect much beyond 100 yards (Stuff this froggie metric shit system) with open sights and my bleary old optics I doubt that I will be excited, but as you say,

" It was just fun to take it out and shoot it."

and I say, "Long Live the British Empire.



P.S. and in closing. to steal some lines from:
"The Goon Show"............."you can't get the wood any more." and
Stark naked Reality; they ceased making them 76 years ago and of course

Get a roll of the flooring protection card board, around a metre high and as wide as you want

Apparently its an unissued one and its all matching numbers 1947 i think
