Not a bad week for Enfield snipers

**snipershot1944** · 02-05-2015 04:15 PM

Truly not a bad week for Enfield snipers. Enforcer 665 was delivered earlier in the week (thanks Mark), and my matching Long Branch 90 series 4t just arrived off GunBroker.

I guess I'll be doing some gun cleaning this weekend in the workshop.

Thanks to all for sharing your knowledge with me.

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.

Bought my third L42A1 on the weekend. And a Ross with a PPCo scope. Guess I can count myself to the thread title

So was the 90L Long Branch the one that someone had scratched thier name and some kind of number all over it? A shame they defaced it like that but still a rare rifle.

Is your camera broken don't be a tease.

**snipershot1944** · 02-05-2015 07:27 PM

Yes that's it. The guy was very thorough. He marked it in three places. The buttplate and magazine bottom, not a problem as replacement parts are on their way. Also in a small spot on the scope bottom, between the bracket legs. I'd rather it not be there, but otherwise the rifle is pretty darn nice. I will pick both up from my dealer tomorrow and will clean them up this weekend.

As for photos, for some reason I never can post them to this forum. Wish I could figure that out.

Given the topic I will bet a Milsurps Moderator can help sort that out.

It sounds like you will get her fixed up nice then. Good to hear the marking on the scope was on the bottom. It won't be noticeable at all. It did look like a pretty nice rifle. I am looking forward to pictures, too.

Was that the 90L that did the disappearing act?

**snipershot1944** · 02-06-2015 10:41 PM

Yes. That was it Cold.
