1942 LongBranch 303

[SKS50]

1942 #4 MK1* Long Branch cleaned the bore last night and it looked to be a new barrel judging by the condition of the bore,it needs a good detailed cleaning for several years of storage. Now for some brass and dies and working up a few loads,cast bullets to come later.

Nice. Old style cocking piece is interesting. It it matching?

No it isn't matching but it's a LB bolt and bolt head and the serial # is pretty close as serial # go. I was told it probably a factory refurb since the receiver is Parkerized.

I havent bought it as of yet just checking things out and learning what I can before I purchase it.
