Question on desporterizing a No.1 MkIII

[Rumpelhardt]

I am finding that some parts just do not come cheap though. Long Branch marked mk1 rear sight comes to mind. Anything marked Long branch seams to be at least 25-50% higher from what I've seen.

Rumpelhardt, look on the Springfield Sporters website for the price of a used hinged LB front band (part 1G) - that makes the $250 I recently saw a LB milled rear sight sell for on evilbay look almost reasonable - yikes!

$350.00

Rumpelhardt,
Go for it, as you know with your No4 the satisfaction of the restoration adds that little more. You will find the parts eventually and as bigduke said you will get such a stockpile of spares after a while.

You know I find the hunt for parts to be fun in itself.
I dragrace, build plastic models, hunt, shoot both firearms and archery..... I realy didn't need another hobie but this one combines the best of the others and can be quite relaxing.

Rumpel, you are lucky to be in the US, with Springfield Sporters selling Lee Enfield parts for a realy good price. I'm struggling ever since they stopped shipping to Canada!
