7.62mm DCRA LE No4 conversion thread

[Saabu]

Superbee listed his #1 unit on the EE.

overall, looks like just over 10% of the rifles are accounted for in the list - anyone have an accurate count?

I have more info on #1412.
It is for sale again.
It is a 1943 LB with the 5G and C inside oval.

Looks like a bunch of former competition .303 rifles were converted at the same time in the 1400 serial # range.

#1429 on the EE,1949 LB,TZ sight, also has the C inside oval, indicating a former .303 competition rifle.

Can anyone elaborate more on this .308 converted Long Branch’ 45 on the E&E?

Civilian?

 

[woodchopper]

wow that's a little different.

Looks like the entire top of the receiver and charger bridge has been machined off.

the No4Mk1* marking above the Longbranch has been machined away, that's a fair bit of metal.

I saw one at the Bud Haynes / Wards auction last week, unfortunately I forgot to write the conversion number down, it was in the 14xx range.

It was sporterized and barrel cut down, the other oddity that I noticed was that the conversion number was in brackets Ie.. (14XX)

someone had tried to put it into a full length forestock but the wood came up to the muzzle.

was a LB with the C oval mark

That one was at that same auction before. Wonder of they put it back on or by a different owner?

No reserve, but $799 starting bid.
Isn't that the reserve then?

ah yes that the one, had a quick look at it but didn't pay too much attention as it was way too ugly.
