1942 Long Branch No4 Mk1- barrel marking

**chamber rat** · 03-07-2012 12:19 AM

Recently bought a 1942 Long Branch No4 Mk1. On the top of the barrel is marked Surrey. Can anyone tell me more about the barrel? Is it a replacement from a non government rebuild?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Doug

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

"surrey" was a grade of post-war sporterized rifle.
