My First!

**Pumpgunpete** · 08-25-2008 11:46 AM

I am a new member and my friend introduced to this website. The same Milsurp addicted friend was kind enough to sell me one of his many long branches and I have recently become owner of a beautiful 1944 No 4 Mk 1.

He said "Your going to get addicted now" and I said "Yeah right."

Well I have become a milsurp addict. I had this list of guns I wanted, mixuture of new and old and pretty much the new ones have been scratched off and replaced by old ones.

I want a P14, A Long Branch Enflied sniper, a M19034A Springfield Sniper etc.. etc..

I wish I had the pocket book to pay for all this. For now I will have to be satisfied with just seeing pictures of the beautiful guns that come up for sale on the board and whisper under my breath "you bastard, that should be my gun."

Cheers to all.

Peter. aka. Pumpgunpete.

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.

Congratulations on becoming infected

Soon you'll be reading posts and noticing silly things like in 1944, Longbranch made the No.4 Mark 1*

The major difference between the Mark I and Mark I* was in the bolt release arrangement. The Mark I* had the cut out in the bolt way to rotate the bolt head up and allow the removal of the bolt from the action.

I've never found a cure for the infection
