If nothing else, I have (or will have) a nice example of a 1944 Long Branch, which has not been bubba'd, but has gone through reasonable, minimal changes.
A Lemon? Not even close. From the looks of the sellers photos you are on the receiving end of a very nice rifle. Like so many Britishicon No4 rifles it is very hard to find a Long Branch today that hasn’t had at least some level of FTR work done to it. It’s a full wood LB No4 and from the sounds of it you got it for a good price so how bad can it be?
