With nearly 30 years of attending Friendship, one thing I've learned - one never knows what will appear and many things are for sale.
Mid-week I was not feeling so good, so I opted to just walk around thru gunmakers hall and commercial row.
Saw this upright in a vertical rack and grabbed to to take a closer look - relieved to see that no one had messed with it (1 exception), original finish with some dents and knick marks, clean checkering with a few dents, metal all patina - just like it should be.
It reminded me of my small Charles Piper as it felt like it's 7/8 scale, certainly smaller than my Alex Henry.
This 1/2 stock British Sporting Rifle was made by Mills, London. Never heard of them, so I'll have to do some research..
Love the rear sight.
