Hello to All,
Bob has galvanized me to get of my fat arse and get started on the MPL rifle cards
As he was using his HW55T, I thought I would try a far more exotic beast - my 1973 Original 35
This rifle I bought new, has been abused to hell and back, especially during my teen years. I knackered the front stock screw holes so badly, that the action was eventually glued into the stock with silicone mastic
- a 'glue-in'
I bought the Original diopter sight (same model as 65/66 had) in 1975, and with a post element I will be shooting the July MPL rifle cards this afternoon.
I still have a few tins of vintage Eley Match pellets, so I will be using them as well for a true period feel.
Ancient & knackered rifle, ancient & knackered shooter, vintage pellets - should be entertaining
Have fun & a good weekend !
Best regards
Russ
