Thanks! Yeah I suppose you’re right, I’m now looking for a good Remington to keep it company
Hi,
Looking for a VG Remington 1903a3 - would like to be correct, good bore and original finish. Arsenal stamped okay.
Thanks!!
Hi all,
In the market for an original mosin PU sniper in VG condition overall (including scope) - Izzy or Tula okay
Let me know if you’re wanting to part with one!
Hi all,
Picked up my first 1903a3 & is currently on the way to me (not here yet). Thought I’d share some preliminary pictures so you guys can tell me how I did.
It’s a 1944 SC with 11-43 SC...
Hi Everyone,
Looking for an M1 carbine to purchase- I'd like for it to be a WW2 production date, early or late war doesn't matter to me. Also no preference on manufacturer.
Thanks!
Hey guys,
Looking for a WW2 era garand bayonet, let me know if you're trying to part with one!
Thanks
Thank you Brian, forgot to include the correction you sent last night, my apologies! And thank you for taking off the swivel and sling, they were going to come off at some point so saved me a little...
So happy ending all of this - Brian Dick got my rifle today and had the chance to give it a look over including the bolt and had this to say:
"Your LB No.4 arrived safely today. I...
Already shipped unfortunately otherwise I would. And hopefully Brian will be able to tell me more about it.
And now starting to wonder if I got fleeced on this rifle
Very much appreciate all the input from everyone, I think regardless the bolt in question shouldn’t be trusted at the moment. It’s getting shipped down to Brian Dick today for him to take a look and...
Hmm, so what do you think the best course of action is in this case? Would it be even safe to fire then?
Longbranch Bolt - Album on Imgur
More pictures of the bolt
Will hold off on firing, and can provide more pictures of the bolt if needed. Hopefully one of the guys you listed can give us better insight
Thats what i was thinking about the blue tinge...is that a bad thing that its there do you think?
And yeah as far as the cock on closing, I think its just somethiing I need to practice with and...
Longbranch No4 Mk1 - Album on Imgur
Some quick pictures i grabbed today if anyone is interested[COLOR="black"]

Not force close as in feeling like it’s hurting the rifle, just a fair amount of resistance at the end of the bolt cycle. Again, the enfield is new to me so it could be and sounds normal based on...
Picked up the Longbranch today- all I can say is wow, she’s a beauty. Everything matches with a 1 bolt head. Will post pics later if you guys want them.
Also, question about the cock on closing...
Wow thanks for the insight! Good to know it’s a good one in the eyes of people who know more than me about these rifles! Rifle is all matching according to the pictures and what the seller is saying....
That is very true. I'm just not knowledgeable enough about the Enfield world at this point to know where the prices are exactly to date. But, I went ahead and took the matching longbranch so I'm sure...
I didn't know that but thank you! 2 things that are easy to correct....just for my sake, how do you know the sling isn't correct? I know the usual slings the brits used were tan, if im not wrong, as...
Thanks Alan, I appreciate the help! I know enfield prices have been trending upwards in general including here in the US so i figured 725 for a matching one wasn't out of the realm of possibility.
...
Hi,
I'm looking at purchasing this longbranch lee enfield and was curious as to what you guys think would be acceptable to pay for it? Seller is asking for 725 shipped. Attached are photos
...
Thanks for the great info. I figured I'd be better off going with an all matching having the chance. One more question, what do you think the value on a '43 longbranch all matching would be? Assuming...
Thanks for the help, thats very interesting about the A suffix. This specific rifle has a mismatched bolt, so seeing that it has the A suffix would it be better to avoid this rifle? My other option...
Hi guys,
I'm looking into buying my first enfield, and as such I'm limited on my knowledge of them. I'm currently looking at 2 Enfields that I may buy but had a question about the serial number on...
