    #7 Mk1 Long Branch in .303, vintage 1946

    what i thought was a #4 in .303 upon closer inspection shows an attempted rub-out of the No. 7 on the action, however not enough to completely remove the original markings.
    i have no idea of the letters after the 7 and before the 22, either.

    Is this common or rare or ? is it an issue if marketing such a rifle? it is a full wood rifle with mag. Action says Regulated by Fulton and has a marking on the forestock of LB63. S/n 22L3895.

    i can post a pic but seems only on a Reply basis, i dont see a Go Advanced button anywhere when starting a new thread. so i will reply to myself! that perhaps should be addressed in the tutorial or at least explained in a reply by someone in the know.
    Thanks in advance

    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.

    To learn more about about how to handle pics, please read these threads in the Q&A - Help Forums, which also appears as a "sticky" thread at the top of every forum on the site.

    How do I upload pictures to my posts for storage on milsurps.com? (click here)

    How do I show pics from Photobucket, Flickr, ImageShack etc. on milsurps.com? (click here)

    If you still have problems, email them to me at badger@milsurps.com and I'll resize them for you, then post them in the thread under your name

    Regards,
    Doug
