1941 Lithgow SMLE
Pulled down one of my Enfields and took some pictures. 1941 Lithgow No.1 MkIII, with a Sanders 1907 pattern bayonet, an imposing piece of steel to be sure. I can only imagine what the rifle experienced over it's lifetime, and the bayonet would have an even more amazing story I'd bet. I picked it up, along with few others, from a bazaar in Afghanistan. Needless to say, I'd bet it got around.
Excuses
Nothing's really jumping out at me to talk about today, and it's the first day in like a week where it's relatively warm and not raining, so I'm going to put the boat on top of the car and head to a lake. The wind is gusting pretty well, but meh.
Might get some motivation to take some pictures or something later though.
