Garrett Co Hooligan #1
An SMLE No. 1 MK III was the first "military" rifle I'd ever fired. I bought it years and years ago. And 303 British was the first cartridge I learned to reload. That was only the beginning. To better understand my rifle I learned as much about Lee Enfields as I could. Of course, one thing led to another...
Over the years I've added other Enfields to my collection. My No. 4 MK 2 was an unissued "mummy wrapped" relic. It's a tack driver I picked up in the early '90's. Restoring a Bubba'd 1912 No.1 was a great project. Adding an Ishapore 2A1 to the collection was a no-brainer. Still, there was a hole I'd always wanted to fill that eluded me for a long time: A No. 5 Jungle Carbine.
The wait is over! Tonight I've been cleaning an original No.5 from 12/45 that has found its new forever home. It needs some work as you'd expect for a 75 year old military rifle. But that was expected.
This Hooligan is very happy tonight.
Just thought I'd share.
