    Early Long Branch

    Found another early Long Branch, a '42 3L rifle with unusual history, pictured with my odd ball '41 6L rifle. Great early 66 code wood on both. Paid a little more than the original price...

    Sweet find. That's awesome to have that one and the provenance that comes with it.

    That's pretty incredible and both of your rifles are very nice.

    Love the RCMP marking. I had a Platoon Commander that was issued an FN C1 that had that marking...

    I was going to bid on that one but completely forgot. I even looked up the serial number ahead of time. Did you find a new buttstock?

    Had the light-colored 66 code butt in stock, almost a perfect match.
