I've finally finished my first SMLE, pretty pleased with it for a first attempt. I have a slightly improved model in the pipeline which I'm putting into an L42A1.
I've attached one image, for the rest take a nosey here: https://vintageairsoft.wordpress.com/20 ... -complete/
Original parts where practical, including the buttstock. The forestock and top guards are new manufacture to avoid any weak points in a conversion. You can see the whole build process in the posts linked to in the article above.

Not bad not bad at all. Only thing I really miss is the rear sight protector and a charger bridge.

Yeah, a few tweaks due for production including those! Pretty happy for a first attempt.
