Niiice!

I love SMLEs. I've owned two, but had to sell them both

I had a '43 SMLE No4 Mk1 made in Croydon that was a bit rough, but still shot very nicely. The second was a '44 Longbranch No4 Mk1* that was a tack driver. I recently found a BEAUTIFUL '41 Longbranch No4 Mk1* with the prewar adjustable sights. If I had a steady supply of .303 I'd have been all over that one.
