It followed me home today - honest !!!

[Alan de Enfield]

A poor little semi-abandoned Longbranch No4 Mk1*, woodwork has been adjusted with an axe, barrel is full length but the bayonet lugs have been ground off and its been smooth bored to .410 with a brass bead on the barrel tip.

It just had to come and be rescued - anyone got a barrel surplus ?








Whats left of the forend was 'packed' with vinyl / leatherette which presumably is the new bedding material ?

Would think that they'd be known as something else there?

You're right, Bubba is particularly American, but the name brings forth the same mental imagery even for us. Here in Britain we have a much more general noun for them, and it begins and ends with T and contains an A and a W.

I wouldn't bother "restoring" it unless one has 90% of the parts already on hand.
If it were mine, I'd toss my spare No4 sporter wood on it and use it as a smooth bore. I have a CadTechnic scope mount doing nothing and that would probably go on it too. Then reload round balls in 410 brass cases and use the thing for a pumpkin buster.
