A 1950 to 1955 LB would be interesting. Mind you, not the DP'd rifles.

It's really wonderful that they took the time to match as many bolts as possible. That would be a LOT of work.

This was talked about a couple of years ago. Turned out to be too expensive for our market were they not?

Yep.

$750 I believe LA said.

$750 isn't bad if we're talking an unissued 1945-49 Longbranch, with factory grease and tags.

I think the $750 was FOB Italy...

If I remember correctly, they're not unissued, they could not guarantee bore condition and bolts are not matching.

You do. Exactly. It's the reason the whole issued stopped dead in it's tracks then.

Resto thread... I was looking at the Euroarms site, and thought it was interesting they still had links to LE manuals free for downloading, left side of the screen:

That was 10 years ago and at that time you could pick up one of the Belgian Long Branches for $125.00 at most Gunshows. 5 years ago I was selling nice Long Branches and Pakistani No.4 MK2 for $350.00. Prices here have finally caught up to EuroArms listing (factoring in Shipping and Duty & Customs Fees).
