British #20 MKI

The body arrived from SMLE2009 (thanks Tony) and the adaptor piece got here today from paulthegrenade (thanks Paul) and the adaptor screwed right on. I need to go to my brothers house next week as he has a heavy duty drill press with a centering mandrel base (really neat set-up) that will allow me to drill the rod hole dead center. I've decided to do nothing with the body as I really like the "relic" look it has, beside cleaning some scale from under cap. Then i'll need to fashion a safety pin at which point i'm gonna call it done...Dano
