Hi all, yes ammo is expensive here as well but I have got onto some Serbian rounds @ $30 a box of 20, I have had the rifle 15 years now but unfortunately the woodwork on the foregrip cracked and rotted so I had to buy synthetics as parts are too hard and too expensive to come by.
this is it before conversion.

Don't apologize for synthetic! had the original manufacturer had it 1n 1914 he would have used it! As price cutting is the name of the military/industrial game... especially in WWI. I'd imagine the price of ammo precludes your rendering of a historically accurate 'mad minute'? I reload the old 1800's Trapdoor Sprinfield and Sharp's Carbine 45-70 using this-it's a tedius drag, but $ave$ dinero in black and nitrate powder:

And again, same rifle after airbrushing, I am about to change the cam pattern to match my surroundings a bit more.

a useful tool in any arsenal; I use a harris bipod on the .375 H&H Browning but authentic homemade & cheap 'crossed sticks' for black powder competition. Generally with a Lyman .50 or Thompson Hawken .45.

I would but I'd have to pay for the equipment...and there's my problem
I can hold my wallet upside down right now and nothing would fall out.

I wish I'd bought an SMLE long ago. Might go for an Mosin Nagant instead now.
