value ? rcmp longbranch N04 MK1* altered for scope.
i have a near perfect 1945 rcmp issued longbranch N04 MK1*.
my problem is my 73 year-old eyes. would the future value be adversely affected if i had
it drilled and tapped to mount a scope?

It would destroy the value. If you want to scope use a no gunsmithing bracket. There are a number of them. I think the Fulton ones may be the best but not the cheapest.

Take those words of advice on board mechanic. The scope mounts GSimmons speaks of are available, by return post, from Brian at BDL Ltd in SC

My blood pressure has returned to normal. Sorry for the rant. I was just at the Vernon Gun show, admiring an original, matching (all matching, every part) Portuguese Vergueiro with a beautiful bore, which someone unfortunately had decided to "pretty up"; the stock had been sanded and varnished with that dazzling "see your face in it' stuff. The wood had been sanded so much the buttplate was proud by about 1.5mm. It's only the second one of that model I've ever seen which is completely matching, so it was a little sad........ Enjoy your rifle, with the no-drill mount.
Cheers
Ed
