    Question 1943 Long Branch #4 MK 1*

    Top of the morning to everyone. I recently inherited an Enfield Rifleicon from my father. He said it is very special. I want to learn some more about it. I shot it and it is a tack driver. It has parker hale sights on it and I am not sure how to adjust them. It is a Long Branch #4 MK 1*. 1943 It has a third swivel by the trigger guard. Ya'll be easy on me I'm a woman with not much experience with guns other than loving target shooting.

    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.

    jlking, It may be special in that it was set up to be a target rifle. Does it have a couple of brackets on the left hand side of the reciever wall? Look at Brian Dickicon's post on the '41 BSA for a pic of the brackets.

    In general, Long Branch rifles have a very good reputation for fit and finish.

    My condolences for the loss of your father.

    Photographs of your rifle would be very helpful.
