Thats nice...!!
Good of you to post the general history of that type of rifle, & how its of relevsnce to us (Aussies) No1...
I assume this is your rifle...
Some of tha pitting is deep, but id guess thats not only to do with its age & storage over time, but also from how the steel was made ..?
Anyway, looks like you've done a good job of stopping it...
Id like to see a thread with little summaries of the hostorical firearms like that...
It would make for a good bookmark to go to when wanting to "switch off" from everything...
And I'd bet you could fill a good few pages...!!!..
If it is yours, do you know the history of that individual No1...?...like when it csme to our shores, who owned it etc etc...
Anywsy, I really enjoyed that little read No1...
Thanks...
The man who knows everything, doesnt really know everything...he's just stopped learning...
