    No4 MkI Backsights

    I recently purchased a 1941 Long Branch that was missing the MkI backsight. Soon after the rifle arrived, I found a Long Branch MkI backsight and admittedly overpaid for it; however, it actually paid off, the Seller had two more that he offered to me at a much better price. I ended up buying three Long Branch and one Savage MkI backsight from him. It is nice to have things work out every now and then.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Good for you. And if anyone desperately needs one, I have a spare MkI Long Branch bolt: full knob and hole, no serial number (may have been filed off, but was parked after)
