I have one of these rifles. Original serial number on the receiver is 8888xa.

It has MK-2 stamped on the stock.

I have been a member here for some years now, but don't/can't/won't use paypal. I sent a request for the email address for e-transfer, but no answer yet. Maybe I'm a bit too impatient.

Thanks.

Okay. I see why I can’t get any pics to show up. This site is a very good one, pics or no pics. Thanks to Badger and anyone else who makes it go.

Mine is sn1299

Interesting thread. I have used LEE molds for many years. There are many how-to articles on the net, so I can only say that having them clean is important. I mostly used straight WW, but sometimes...

I've found more than one list. One says PF301548 was first of the batch for Anglo-Egypt Sudan, one says it was the second, and another says it was first of the first batch sent to Ireland.

I...

In the midst of re-doing my gun inventory records. I pulled A No.4 Mk2 "PF" series out of the pile and thought it might be an idea to research the serial number. I always presumed that it was an...

No, I think that was Hitler's personal rifle that he was using when he was "killed, fighting for Germany". Actually, it is rather cute. Would kick like a mule with factory milsurp ammo. We used to...

I have an FN .22 trainer IDF like new. Bought it years ago, don't recall where. Serial 1299. I also have a German 98 converted to .22. Interesting rifles. The old German one shoots like a dream....

I was just searching the web for info on these rifles and came across some post here from 2010. At that time, one poster said the highest serial found so far was 87685a.

Mine is 88882a. It has...

I did a count the other day. It appears that I have four Israeli 7.62's. One of them I have shot a few times this past year. I will dig the others out of the pile and crank some rounds out of...

Thinking you must have just about the only "nice condition" Indonesian SMLE out there; any I have seen were beat half to death.

What we call Indonesia today was the...

I will be putting up a two table display at the Regina, SK Gun Show on January 13 & 14. I have a nice old Indonesian SMLE that will be part of it. Can anyone help me out with info about these...

How does it shoot? Well, I finally got to take it out to my buddy's private range this afternoon. I'll let the pics speak for themselves. This was at 40 yards with my fuzzy old eyes.

:yikes: That is gorgeous! I see lots of what would have been nice old rifles all plastered up with "spar varnish". Now with the Russian Capture rifles, it's gov't approved! :madsmile:

I have owned this rifle for a good number of years. Mismatched bolt and sanded (not by me, be assured of that!). Nice rifling, and generally in decent condition. Not a commonly seen rifle.

Haven't taken it out. Too bleepin' cold up here. :(

I use a mix of LEE and others, but I only buy LEE if I need a new set. I love the collet dies, especially for light rifle loading. I decap all my rifle brass with the little manual setup and a...

In Canada, we did have a great supply of M48, M48A, M48BO, M24/47 some years back, but they have been all gobbled up from the dealers. Nowadays, the best way is to scoop one from one of the...

Yes. I have one, a Russian Capture, with the same markings on the top of the receiver. JP Sauer & Sohn

Neat. I have one of the FN Israeli trainers, near new, and a converted K98 with a Remington barrel. We recently shot the converted one and it shoots better than I can. We have shot the FN, but...

Posted this on a couple of other sites. Seemed to be appreciated, so here she be:

Hello. I have three Long Branch rifles:

1. 82L9164, 1945, No. 4 Mk1*, MkIII ladder sight, steel butt plate, no groove upper HG.
- On butt stock, just back of trigger guard - B over...

Gorgeous! I have a "sportered" 1893 Enfield II. done by "Alex Martin Glasgow 4347". :)

fernleaf: Yes. I had one fellow suggest that it should be worth $3000-4000, but as my old Dad used to say when I would put up my dukes to him: "Ha! Talk is cheap! Takes money to buy whiskey!" ...
