Long Branch Mk I*: refurbed or original?

**SpikeDD** · 10-05-2018 09:31 PM

told me about the finish on the Longbranch FTR rifles many years ago. Shortly after I found an example that fit his description to the letter. It may have been at the York, PA show I joined him at, I honestly can't remember.

I broke the rifle down and took photos for this thread as further comparison.
Interestingly, It had been FTR'd once before at Fazakerley.

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.

Draw lapped barrel...during workshop. Also remarked from Savage to Long Branch during a LB rebuild. I would guess Long Branch rebuild as it's mostly LB parts.
