Just a short note to wish Y'all the very best for the remainder of the holidays from a soggy South Carolina. May you have a safe and prosperous New Year. A VERY SPECIAL THANKS to those of you who've patronized my business, many being long term repeat customers and ALL of the military folks serving in these unstable times. I hope to be able to serve you again in 2010. Brian
Very best wishes to you too Brian, well said. My personal touch to this would be to add an especially warm "thanks" to all those who keep helping me as I constantly learn more about Lee Enfield rifles...
To everyone: stay safe on the road, and don't forget to hug all your loved ones :)

Thanks Brian for you provided the Canadian Bren transit case I use for my longbranch "T". The REL scope/ mount does not match the rifle either. I do what I can do. Some day I may make a match. You are invaluable. Stay there. Again thanks, Gary
Wow, I forgot about that one! I've still got one modified Bren chest here for the No.4T. Any other takers?
I've got plenty of mismatch scopes too to include my Trials "T" and 1941 BSA/H&H. All of my remaining LB No.4 T's except for one have mismatch scopes fitted. That includes 1943, 1944 and 1944(TP), although the late, great Pete Bloom managed to find me the Lyman scope that is one serial number off the original which is as good as matching in my book! It's just a fact of life when these rifles are sixty-plus years old.
Sign me up for the Bren Chest. I've got a (T) that will fill it right!Quote:

The sight ears and charger bridge were milled off, and a wierd looking muzzle break mounted.
Given the amount of work Paul did on 0C1, this work is POSSIBLE; not sure if it's worth it. :dunno:
Gotta have something to do, you know!

Bring it over and we can compare it to my well used but honest Trials T.
The chest is here and yours when you're ready. It's buried in a corner someplace!
Don't forget to email me directly so I can send you the LB list. . I lost your email address in the crash of August.
happy holidays to all...be safe
Happy holidays Brian. It was a pleasure dealing with you this year. :)
Make sure you look after Arado Brian....., he's got a Norton Commando
Roger that Sir!
All the best from the frozen north!!
I have updated. My Norton sits idle. My ride now is the 2300cc TRIUMPH Rocket 3. Which I modified to my needs in controls, seating and suspension. Long live the King. GaryQuote:

If I remember correctly, "somewhat warped" is a bit of an understatement. I'm glad it worked out OK.
