That's spot on, I have two if anyone is interested.:madsmile:

Blimey, someone paid well over the odds. Sadly it is a buyers market, had he been a member of Milsurps, he would have got one for £150 and saved himself a divorce, could have even taken his wife out for a meal, and had money to spare!!:lol:

To think we didn't care at all about that stuff when we were in, didn't know we were supposed to take home a railcar full to sell this much later. I could have paid for a house with all the Long Branch stuff now...also Parker Hale, FN...

I have the square edge scope tin minus the sling/strap, and having looked at the silly prices occasionally asked for a replacement, i reckon it'll stay that way. :)

Maybe the divorce is the reason he bought it.:)
