Nice New Zealand owned Long Branch. I've had quite a few of the NZ rifles over the years and they are usually near new condition except for one I still have that's seen a bit of honest service and is one of my favorite shooters. Enjoy.

Thanks Brian!
Which stamps indicate NZ? I am new to these, but they have grown on me pretty quick

Er......... the NZ on the butt socket should be a good giveaway! Sorry...., but it is New Years Eve!
That carrying handle is only PART of the kit. The thing came with a wrap-on/around bipod thinggy too and a gas rattle. These bits combined would make a rifle into a realistic immitation of the then new Bren Gun coming into service. Not an Army issue thing but purchased from unit funds

Um..DUH! I *THOUGHT* it was an "N" "1" "7"....
Looking at it now, I guess it is "N" "broad arrow" "Z"?
The stamps are not stamped all the way since the metal is curved :P
Thanks Again!
