Longbranch MP with Pic,s

[manitou210]

Have been offered $650 seems a to low? as I have seen Irish Contract Rifles at $700 +
Buy says that is absolute top dollar for my Longbranch come with a few extras, The Parker Hale sight has been removed and would not come if I sell rifle extras like wooden bore guide and extra front sights and rear would.
Original owner was in RCMP and told me gun had not fired a 150 rounds I have hand loaded light loads with varget & RL 15 with 150gr Sierras and 174gr MK and was able to shoot a .735" 5 shot group at 100 yards maybe fired 300 rounds total. head space is perfect have reloaded neck sizing only ww Brass 7 times and brass is still fine
Bore is pristine, always have cleaned with coated dewey rods and used Hoppes
Any help on value would be appreaciated










Any help on true value would be appreaciated
Thanks

Is the s/n of the rifle on the Klancher list?

These come up so rarely, it's tough to tell. FWIW, I paid less than $600 for mine, from a dealer, but that was in 2009. Yours appears to be in great condition, and I would agree that $650 is a bit low, with standard Long Branches now moving at %400 +/-. If you're throwing in a Long Branch micrometer sight, that's an extra $50-75 beans in my book.

Hopefully you get some other responses so you can get enough data points.

Is your rifle 303 or 7.62? first couple pic's have 7.62 mag and the remainder 303. Post serial number and we can look it up it the "Book". Value will depend on this info. See it's got a maple stock...any markings or sn on the pieces? Ron
