    Here Is A Date You Don't See on a Long Branch Cno7

    Literally........

    I have a 1953 dated example (along with the usual 44, 45 and 46 dates) and have seen photos of 51 dated examples, but I have never seen this date. It has not been scrubbed....it never had the date added.

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I imagine it is one of the receivers sold during the Long Branch auction and later assembled into a full rifle There were postings on this several years ago.

    It is one of the standard scrubbed serial receivers from the Canadianicon Supply system that made it onto the market in the past decade, so it actually was a rifle in Canadian service at one point. I'm not big on the scrubbed guns, but the lack of a date made it a must have for the collection. Now I need to find a 51 dated example.

    I saw a new LB .22 no date receiver in the cardboard box for sale at this week end Ohio Gun Collectors show. $100 seems steep.

    I would have paid that for it as a curiosity.

    I've heard of at least one retired armourer who has a large stock of parts and assembles C No.7s. In fairness, no one thought much about this 25 or more years ago, when interest and values were much lower, and for someone who has taken hundreds of them apart and put them back together again, they probably take on the same aura as a lawnmower, a bicycle or at best a restorable collector car.
