The L42 and No4T Long Branches are sad fake garbage.
very nice enfield envoy target rifle on there. They rarely come up for sale. Interesting to see what it goes for.
Description to be updated.
I'm probably not going to bid on anything, but those Colt Pythons are making me drool. Wouldn't mind another Makarov either. Dang, let me go look at my bank account again, why didn't I marry a rich girl? :dunno:
Haven't seen the L42A1....what lot# is that? A lot of these rifles appear to be refinished.
There is one of the very rare Northwest Mounted Police MkI carbine's for sale, albeit with a mismatched bolt. Still highly desirable and collectible. If I was still living in Canada that and the Ross trainer would be ending up in my collection.
7/10. LEE ENFIELD . MODEL: MKI CARBINE ROYAL NORTH WEST MOUNTED POLICE. CALIBER: .303 BR
Ross Rifle Company Cadet 22 Trainer .22 lr Single RARE Full Wood
That is in Switzers Auction.Quote:

Ever seen a L42 built up on a .22 Long Branch 1944 receiver?
Well the bright side is that only the extremely foolish should be fooled.Quote:

Sorry, I missed that it was in a different auction. There was some very suspect and a lot of Bubba'd rifles in the few pages I looked at but I'd love that carbine in my collection.
Check lot 0I "from collection of expert gun refinisher" in Wards
That explains a lot. Sure hope buyers are aware of what they are bidding on.
That altered ever collectable he ever got hands on.Quote:
