    Another cheap rescue

    A drive across town and $50 I brought this home. It was on a local forum listed as a sporter with broken wood. After I got all the dried up grease and dirt of of it I see it's a 1944 Long Branch in really nice condition, bolt and receiver match, no mag. Best 5 groove bore I have seen in a LB.


    It even had this nice old Redfield No4 receiver peep sight, complete with all original hardware.


    I have LB furniture here, need LB bands and it well be complete.

    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.
