I already have a nice Number 32 Mark III and I am now looking for a legit Number (4) to mount it on. The ideal rifle would have the following features, but the absence of one or more of these is not...
What do you all think a reasonable retail price would be for a Type 38 carbine... I think it is a Series 4 Nagoya, serial number matching bayonet lug but not matching the bolt, no apparent rust...
Thanks but my concern is the "soak in" part. With the amount of stain that has already been soaked into the wood I'm not sure anything but a topical finish would work. My mix for the staining...
I just finished staining a cheek riser to match my Number 4 repro (T) stock and would like to protect the finish. My go-to would be BLO but I think there's not much more absorption to be done by the...
The barrel is dated 1956 (at least I think that's a date) and it is interesting that they would still use the M47 designation that long after the war... although not unlikely that Cold War concerns...
Thanks to all. My assumption is that components subcontracted to manufacturers in England would not have made their way to Long Branch or Savage during the war. Since this rifle has not been marked...
Thanks! Follow-up questions:
- For which manufacturers did Singer and Viners do sub-contractor work?
- Can the crown over J6 inspector's stamp be linked to a particular manufacturer?
The rifle was converted to a faux (T) by a previous owner, so if I can get the repro Number 32 scope zeroed, the 10x's will be produced by that device!

I acquired a Number 4 Mk 1* that is a mixmaster. The receiver is a 1943 Long Branch and has a matching bolt. There is a Savage S in a box on the metal piece of the stock fore-end and several...
Thanks for the info. If it turns out I need some tarting up, where do I send it and how much does a standard tart job cost? This is a serious question!
I have a 1943 Long Branch whose trigger, once the rifle is cocked, flops forward and aft about 3/8 inch with no resistance. Once the slack is taken up, the 2-stages work and feel normal. I have a...
Thank you. From what I can see of photos from Wayne Machinery and the Accumounts sites, mine looks just like that. Do you have any idea of the quality of that product?
I also have the Teslong and for the price it works well for me.114069114070
I have acquired a repro No. 4 Mk 1* (T) with a repro Number 32 scope mounted. The scope seems to be very solidly built (weighs 2 1/4 pounds with the mount), is crystal clear and the graticle moves...
