Interesting long branch sniper

[Lee Enfield]

Unfortunately when the gun showed up for auction @7-8 years ago there were only 2 (poor) photos, and it looked significantly different.

At the time I listed it as probably real, however in the mean time the gun has been significantly modified, and I suspect the spurious markings added.

Also thanks to the better photos we can see that the Rings have been "worked over" to appear Long Branch type. They appear to be a mix of repro and possibly British parts.

The pads are probably fakes.

The cheek piece is fake.

The scope may be the only original part on the gun.

I'm changing my listing from possibly real, to Fake.
