Finnish L-39 Lahti 20mm anti-tank rifle

.50 M2, probably modified for semi-auto. Or maybe just an FN-FAL or variant.

[Dimitri]

Sgt. H. A. Marshal's (of the Calgary Highlanders) Longbranch No.4 (T).

Failing that any reasonably priced WW2 issued Longbranch No.4 (T) would do.

In all of the pictures I've seen, Marshal is clearly NOT using a LongBranch T.

You can see the bolt release in some pics, and others show the brit/savage relief area around the forward pad.

Few LB Ts made it into the ETO defore VE Day. I've never seen an identifiable pic of a LB T in the ETO.

My "dream" production milsurp is a No4MkI*(T) w/C.No67.

Someday I'll beat that other guy to the draw....

For me it would be a mint Madsen Rifle in 30-06-but I don't know if it qualifies

Sid, I am new to this, dont even know if you will get this, If you do send me an e-mail to lchas_lin@yahoo.com I think I can fix you up. It is minus bayonet though.

Oh thought it was a Longbranch. I couldn't tell the difference unless I read a Enfield and it said "Longbranch" or something else on it though.

Well then I want what ever British No.4 (T) he had.

For me there are two, and without a doubt it would seem that I can afford neither
First is the M1918 BAR Of course this would be the dream of a lifetime. Strangely as a C&R I am allowed to own one The second is the M1 Garand The cheapest price on these is $500. I even thought about offering my M1917 US Enfield in trade, but I'm told that such folly is useless. Oh well one can dream

Around my neck of the woods paulm a 1917 depending on shape goes between $650 to $800 and it's possible to make a swap at the gunshows. M1's at te CMP go from $500 to a little over a grand. I have seen them for $1200 to $1500 depending on shape or someones fantasy of it's real worth. I picked up an H&R service grade at the North store a couple weeks back for $600. I've seen rifles not near as nice for $800 to $1200 at shows.
