    If you decide to fix them up, there's a restoration forum here on the boards:

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ... BDL Ltd. - Specializing in British and Commonwealth weapons Specializing in premium ammunition and reloading components. Your source for the finest in High Power Competition Gear. Here at T-bones Shipwrighting we specialise in vintage service rifle: re-barrelling, bedding, repairs, modifications and accurizing.

    I'd put the No1 mk3's back to service wood and slings and the No4 go ahead and make a carbine out of it but they do look fine

    Me 'ol Dad has an Ishapore No.1 Mk III with the same front site as the #4 above. On his it is just a shroud over the original site. I think if you look close the one pictured here has the same removable shroud. I'd still be tempted to return the Long Branch to military spec ... with the shortened barrel even.
    You could talk about it here in 10 years and everybody will be discussing the odd variation you have.

    I had one like this, i bought it in 1958 from a mail order place. if i remember correct it was about 20.00$$

    i bought a stock from George L Herters, and a butt plate and re stocked it, also got a G H Herters blue kit and blued the thing in the basement, with a lot of hand polishing, for a 14 yr old kid, did not do half bad job and i shot deer with it for many years

    I think if it was me I'd bring the BSA back to military configuration and leave the other two alone.
