After some serious thought I have decided to sell off my lifetime collection. Among these are four .303 British rifles.

Thanks for all the great info and advice on this interesting project.
I am told the BRNO K98 stocks might be difficult to color match a handguard to. I may take the stock to the local gun show...
My brother and brother-in-law worked on it pretty hard Thanksgiving Day, and did a fine job. We actually shot it later in the day. The bore looks pretty good following shooting and after the final...
Several years ago I was given some WWII U.S. and German weapons to see if I could at least get the apart and made operational. This was done and returned to the owner. Much time has passed and the...
Thanks for your sage advice. Yes I am in the states 23112. Shoud the rifle have a stacking swivel on the nose cap? It appears to me to have never had one.
I am the proud new owner of an all matching 1918 (SN K93144) BSA No1 Mk111* all original finish and the butt stock is stamped FR. I cleaned her up to remove decades of dirt, dust, and rock hard dried...
I have a No4 Mk1 1942 Long Branch that I have installed an issue type rear sight on to. What is the value of the clicks on this sight.
Thanks, Andy
My 1942 cLong Branch was removed from the packing crate in May 1970 coated/soaked through and through with cosmo and it is my opinion that the magazine number was VERY deeply struck at the time of...
I examined the rifle very carefully this morning, and it appears to me to have been stamped at the time of manufacture. The stock and magazine have both serial numbers, or should I say both sets of...
Mine to!
Were serial#s stamped/etched into/onto the magazines at Fazakerley (mine does not) as they were on the Long Branch No4s' (my 1942 does)?
Thanks, Andy
I recently purchased one of the M84 repro scopes from Numrich. Since I was unable to find any info on how these scopes actually performed, I decided to find out for myself, apparently noone has...
I must say that these two stories only serve to fuel my passion for shooting a "T" in competition at 600 against all manner of Vintage Sniper rifles.
But I must that have located a mount, a scope...
Are the 4(T) rifles regularly shot in competition at 600 yards?
I to would be interested in some photos. The Weaver Scope may pass the criteria inspection.
Does anyone make a repro No32 Mk3 scope? I think I will have everything worked out this spring, with the...
I do have an M1D I can use while I get this project done right.
By the way; their is another Brit who comes over to shoot in these Vintage Matches and he also shoots a No4. I load the ammo for...
Here is mine 1942 Long Branch No4 Mk1* 2 groove 10L4995 and 44941 also. Non-import marked and, as new everything matches. It originally had the flip type rear sight, I installed a ladder type as I...
The match rules state; "rifles may be equipped with a non-issue but period or replica optical sight"................"rifles MUST be in as issued condition, no match conditioning is allowed". The...
HOLY XXXX!
I also understand that the mount may require "adjustment" to fit an original rifle properly?
Thanks, Andy
"a lot of money"?
It would seem to a novice like me that the scope and mount could exceed the initial cost of the rifle itself?
Thanks, Andy
I am in the initial process of aquiring a No4 Mk1 (T) rifle. Naturally it is missing the scope and mount and cheek piece. Is thier any real possibility of locating these items. I am not concerned...
