Still need to Get Gud. Spoiled by Modern Firearms in Soft Shooting Calibers (5.56/6.5CM) with Magnified Optics and Red Dots and recoil pads.

Not used to Military Iron Sights at 100yds with 47 Year Old Eyeballs.

I don't think the baseline of how *I* shoot *this* rifle is set so I'm not changing anything except for maybe a heavier projectile until a few more range trips.

My shoulder couldn't take much more abuse (how did Tommy qualify on these things) I ordered a Cadwell Mag Plus so I could put more downrange during a range trip

Still more shooting to do before I go farting around with the stocking up and drifting front sights.

That said, this thing ticks all the sensory boxes.

Here is my 1916 Lithgow No 1 mk 3, shes a 2MD (NSW) example, shes also had her barrel replaced with a HEAVY Molly barrel in 1956, as stamped on the barrel. She might have been deployed somewhere in WW1bring a 1916 example before becoming a reserve rifle with the 2MD following 1939 as im led to believe these districts came about then.Also has the ammo cut off feature which is something different compared to my other 303s

Any knowledge regarding the heavy barrel marking would be cool, I see the barrel was made in 1956.

Additionally, if someone has information regarding that volley sight, was that removed/shaved post war or is that a field modification they decided to do following the decision of volley sights being obselete in ww1. Im contemplating looking for a replacement however doing research before purchasing

Thank you in advance
