    No4 Mk1* Longbranch 1942

    SN - 2L7396 CAI import, mismatched bolt, CMk 3 rear sight

    Don't know squat about these rifles to tell what is original or not.

    It's seen better days. Cost me a 100 clams.

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Here is mine 1942 Long Branch No4 Mk1* 2 groove 10L4995 and 44941 also. Non-import marked and, as new everything matches. It originally had the flip type rear sight, I installed a ladder type as I shoot this rifle in Vintage Rifle competitions.

    Thanks, Andy

    Picked this one up at the weekend -

    Long Branch No.4 Mk.1 1941- serial number 1L2702

    Rifle has all original components (1 or 2 missing, but relatively easy to replace), but the wood has been abused, and the rear micrometer sight (Long Branch-stamped) has had a vee cut in the 300 yard aperture.
