    Gun show 1950 Longbranch

    I picked up this No.4 today for $225. It had a broken rear flip sight. I had a No.4 Savage with an F adjustable rear sight that I had a S flip rear sight for so I moved the adjustable sight to the Longbranch and put the correct S sight on the Savage. Bore looks excellent and it passes the field headspace gauge. It has an import mark but I've wanted a Longbranch for a while and couldn't resist the price. There were a lot of tables with pretty good prices, a few were crazy high.

    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.

    Great rifle, sure was a good deal.
    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

    1950 lb

    I got excited when I noticed the last four digits were only four numbers apart from my rifle!. Checked the serial number, its a 91L. Nice rifle.

    Very nice rifle. I picked up my 1950 93L series rifle a couple of years ago for $275. It also has a small import mark but it is one of my favorite shooters (aside from my 1942 0L series Long Branch). I haven't bought another no4 in a while since most down here are either sportered and asking way too much or are very very worn down and again asking too much. Maybe one day when a reasonably priced one comes around I'll snap it up.
