Long branch No. 4T scope help

**ncozzo** · 05-30-2015 06:14 PM

Well I think that I am just going to bite the bullet and buy the R.E.L. Mk III

If I have the control to make something as correct as possible it would bug me if I didnt.

What is a set up like this worth? I don't have good pictures at the moment but the rifle is in phenomenal condition and the transit case is in good shape as well.

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.

The rifle is currently at my parents place but I will try and get pictures as soon as possible.

wait I found some pictures of the rifle on my cell phone. Also the correct scope for the rifle would be the one listed on Lawrance Ordance correct? http://www.lawranceordnance.com/shot...copes/615c.php

The rear pad looks highly suspect. Other comments from others.......

**Roger Payne** · 06-01-2015 03:35 PM

At the risk of differing with you Pete I thought it looked ok, considering we're looking at a late LB rifle. All of the examples I've seen (certainly 44 & 45 dated rifles) have the large countersink with the screws set slightly below flush. Mind, I'm assuming the rear pad screws are flat head countersunk. Or am I missing the point & was it something else about the rear pad that you had suspicions about?

As available some higher definition photographs would be helpful.

Well I'll see if I can get pictures. What exactly would you want pictures of?

**Peter Laidler** · 06-01-2015 04:53 PM

I was suspicious of the 4BA screws as they looked a) like machine heads and b) well below the usual level of the pad. Whereas ours are flush and made off to suit. But if that's OK with DRP, then that's good enough for me. No further pics required..........

**ncozzo** · 06-01-2015 05:54 PM

Alright well if it's good enough for you two gentlemen than I am more than confident and convinced in its originality.

I guess I'll be purchasing that R.E.L. MkII ...
