Final report.
Cleaned up the trigger group, and bolt. (Sorry, Peter, that decades old "Her Majesty's grease/Dead Presidents dust " did not cut it)
Left the under wood as is.
Went to the Farm, and ran 20 rounds of PPU thru it.
Easily "killed" several gallon milk jugs, and a quart oil bottle at 75 yards...after I got to "know" the sights,
It's a keeper.
After having owned, and sold, 2 Longbranch 4's, ($75 each, back in the '90's) and a pre '68 Mail Order No.5 Jungle Rifle, my White Tail gun, and thinking these would always be cheap and plentiful, I now know better.
This one is in the vault, no doubt swapping stories with the various Mausers, Nagants, K31...and my "assault" rifles.
Now, on to the Arisakasearch...
