Another indication of rebuild is the patched draw and knox. But it still has a '43 barrel?? Looks like a beauty!!

Great pictures,that is a nice find. The revolver is my next purchase,it is also a very nice piece to the whole picture.Hope I can find it here up north.
Beautiful rifle mate, really really nice!
Long Branch rifles were bedded at the draw and knox during production so I don't think that's really a sign of rebuild.Quote:

Thanks everyone. If nothing else I'm proof that with patience you can find exactly what your looking for with minimal increase in price due to the current frenzy. Great resources like this are a huge help!
Nice looking rifle. Jealous is the word that comes to mind.
Next step is to get it to the range and check that it shoots true.
Happy shooting.
