My lone trainer is a BSA Sht 22 IV*, and it has been well used.

Does it pale after a while just because it is a rimfire? I do find that my trainer mostly hangs out in the safe. I don't go...

Very nice! I don't believe that I have ever seen one of those before. Any chance of getting more detail on what makes it differ from other trainers? Is it something you will shoot? It would be...

Patrick, I have never been able to hold still with all of those fireworks going on inches from my eyeball. I am forever indebted to Edward Boxer and Hiram Berdan for inventing their respective...

It looks great! Now you have one that you can take to the range and shoot without concern that you will damage it's collector value.

I am only a grasshopper (novice) on this forum. But Eeeek! The bolthead alone give me hives. And I have fired DP rifles!

The piece that I see looks like it is knurled. Is there any chance that it could be an aperture from a target sight that has been fitted into a threaded hole on the other side of the sight? Maybe...

This is all good input. So far, I am thinking most about either leaving it alone or putting a replacement barrel on it. It is not really needed for shooting, as I most often shoot #4's anyhow. The...

Reading the threads about the damaged barrelled receiver reminded me that I have a 1915 No 1 that has a damaged chamber right at the shoulder. There has had corrosion or cordwear or something that...

I think you did great! I would like to come across a 0L s/n Long Branch #4 mk1 (no *) to fix up. Especially if the barrel is intact and in good shape. Does the bolt match?

LST 393 is alive and living (ok, so it is a museum) in Muskegan, Michigan, USA!

Let's see if this picture works...

I visited it last weekend. I have more pics and a tour of the engine...

I did a quick search on MidwayUSA's site. It does not look like they stock Kynoch .303.

Maybe a #5 rebarrelled with a #4 barrel? It looks like a #4 front sight.

It is rare to see any big bore Webley here in Indiana (converted to .45acp or not) for less than $400. I think that you did just fine!

Yes, it's good. Shoot it up and send me the brass! HXP brass is excellent for reloading.

I didn't know that Disney on Parade was carrying Enfields this year...

Granted that I may have a North American bias, I prefer Longbranch #4's and Lithgow #1's. The #4 LB's because mine seem to have tighter bores (and shoot better for me) than my British rifles and the...

I guess I will hold on to the sporter stock set for a while. But I do still have a good two groove full length barrel left that would be just the thing to fix up that next cut barrel sporter.

The...

If I remember correctly, the raised area of the mag follower (platform?) is longer for a #1 magazine, shorter for a #4.

I did try googling it, got a million different opinions and advertisements. Was looking for ideas that had been tried by forum members, hopefully with success!

Has anyone tried the old standby,...

I will try the soaking in mild soap/detergent method for the sling and see what happens. I have some "mink oil" or other leather treatment around here somewhere that I can use after it dries.
...

The Longbranch sporter that I recently acquired seems to "have an air" about it. I have isolated the odor mostly to the sling that was on it.

In the mass of knowledge that is out there, have you...

It would have been interesting to put a piece of wood on either side of the rifle to collect the shrapnel and record size and penetration of the pieces. I have always wondered what would happen if...

The last couple of Enfields that I have purchased have all had wrong magazines in them. If it was a #1, it had a #4 mag in it. If it was a #4 it came with a #1 mag. This one is no exception, has a...

but I couldn't resist. It just reminded me of old hunting trips and campfires. And there is the fact that it is a numbers matching metal untouched 1944 Longbranch, that helped too.
