Longbranch TP Sniper. Comments anyone?
Picked this up a few days ago. A Longbranch Trade Pattern sniper with a Lyman Alaskan scope.
It was advertised as a reproduction, and I knew it was. Nonetheless, it is a beautiful rifle and I am happy that I purchased it. Questions is, would this type of serial# alteration ever be performed at manufacture or at depot level service? I only question the forgery issue due to the care and, dare I say, skill it took to perform this type of work. If so, I wondered if it paid off? BTW if anyone owns a LB with this serial # PLEASE give me a shout ;)
