Looks to be South African made Mk 3 Enfield barrel made in 1961. Installed in May of 1962 - 5:62. I had some of these I bought surplus years ago. Nice barrels. Supposedly made by Musgrave.

HKPB, So where does one find a copy of the test target you show in your pictures? I don't think I have seen that before.

In addition to being mistaken about he importer's marks, I think you misread the date on the receiver. It is marked "1944 Long Branch".

CAI also imported most of the "War Reserve" rifles from...

All this talked of cut back Enfields got me thinking about a picture I have in one of my books on China, Burma and India that shows a cut back No. 4 during the battle for Mandalay in Burma. I...

So was the 90L Long Branch the one that someone had scratched thier name and some kind of number all over it? A shame they defaced it like that but still a rare rifle.

If you look underneath the rear sight to the the right, you will see a hole in the receiver. In that hole is supposed to be a flat topped plunger with a spring underneath it. This holds the rear...

The vast majority of Jovino rifles were good, honest, as issued Lithgow made or refurbished SMLEs. When he bought these rifles he also got a lot of unissued spare parts that he then proceeded to...

Mag30th, excellent videos. It is nice to see what the old warhorses can still do in original configuration.

I think that a lot of the current crop of service rifle and cowboy shooters modify...
