[rgg_7]

Anybody got a picture of the correct 1941 waisted front sight protector and base. Is it the same as the Brit one?

Aside from the markings, it's the same deal. Haven't found any in my stash of photos, but there should be photos in an older thread. Spinecracker might have something.

Singer, at any rate for comparison:







ETA: And an Enfield:







Sorry, nothing Long Branch! Don't own one, so the photos would have been somebody else's anyway.

Found 'em! Go to this thread:

See Post #59. Thanks, AX201201!

And a slap upside Spinecracker's head for not keeping or uploading his photos to his thread!

Hey, no slapping! I do not have a waisted Long Branch foresight protector, so how the heck could I upload pics?

I'm referring to the photos in your thread that were merely links to a photobucket album which is no longer a valid address. Now when folk go back through the thread looking for visual information it's no longer there! That's one of the things that makes this such a useful site- old threads can be excellent references. And can sometimes be brought back to the forefront of discussion if the situation warrants.

So!

For comparison and with thanks to Advisory Panel member Lance, you could check the Canada - Milsurp Knowledge Library (click here)

A rare 1941 No.4 Mk1 Long Branch Rifle (click here) .....

There's lots of pics of them there, including showing various fakes and how to spot them ...

Checked some of mine and the only difference is in the markings and also a VERY slight variance in the knurling on the top edge.

Anyone equipped with CNC if the print was available ???

[limpetmine]

Perhaps. I'll make some inquiries. TIA, Warren!
