No. 4 Mk. 1 Question

[jmoore]

OK, then! Good year- sort of a "pre-1950" but different.(As in rather less common and more likely to have "new" WWII Long Branch parts, plus there's variations even in the "1950" LB.)

Sounds reasonable enough...

I'd buy it unless there's some missing drama that's not evident so far. (Spinecracker might fill you in on the perils of internet advice regarding rifle buys...and incomplete descriptions!)

Here's a handy MKL entry on just such a rifle (slightly "modded" by the DCRA) for you- link below: (Be sure to do the 85pic photo tour- quite helpful it is.)

This is the more common 1950 version, but it's more "stock" and may be a better data source, although its rather late in the run-

I'm learning, ok????

Besides, I have not actually been burned too bad (slightly singed, maybe) - the people here help keep me on the straight and narrow lol. Then again, I did buy my Enforcer without even seeing a photo of it, but the seller was true to his word, and it is a lovely rifle in excellent condition. Now all I need to do is save up my pennies and buy the other one he has (drools greedily)
