    I won't have an idea until it is in my hands, and even then...

    Madcratebuilder has me worried about the seller (TG International). I went out on a limb with this one, but at least they have a 3-day inspection period, and all I would lose out on would be shipping both ways (about $50), unless anyone else has had dealings with TGI and has other impressions. With all costs together, the rifle will end up costing about $425 to get into my hands (oh, how I need to sort out my C&R license), and I would think that is a reasonable price for a 1941 Long Branch, unless it is totally trashed.

    Not saying this is a 'bad one' but TGI's reputation is appalling (cannot use the correct adjective on a public forum).
    They have been selling dozens of Khyber Pass rifles as originals but needed 'to be checked by a gunsmith', several members on another forum have been badly, badly burnt by them.
    After some serious letter writing and threats, naming names etc they now do put in their ads 'display - non shooter only' 'possible Khyber Pass copies'

    No apologies issued tho'.

    Here are a couple of pics of what they have been selling (No1's, No4's and No5's):








    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...
