C no 7 info

I put the parts together to build one, then I got a mint one in the box and never bothered to do it
Now, I can't find the barrel !lol Sold the wood
 
Here is my interesting looking bird.

1944 0L05##

Stamped;

.22
LongBranch
1944

It is not a re-stamped serial# - bolt is matching

The barrel has not been cut.

It came from a deceased RCAF collectors estate out of Quebec a long time ago.

Ask to see good pictures of the muzzle, chamber area, and bbl with the top wood removed. ask if it is an original barrel.
in the pics the sight windage spring and screw are missing, wrist area looks worked, possibly a build. ask for better pics.
ask if there is a return policy for unhappy customers.

Let's not start in the discussion forums.

Here is my clone made with a lined .303 barrel on one of the .22" 1944 receivers. There is a thread about it elsewhere. The forend is a low wall birch Savage. Replace that with a high wall LB walnut, and all parts other than the barrel would be correct.
What would this one be worth? I suspect more than the sum of the parts. I have a crate for it.

Sorry, didn't know, I understand the prices have risen and not sure of quality and parts etc, I will keep trying, would love a nice one but hard to find.
 
I want one because I shot them in cadets, fond memories and I want to shoot them with my sons ( young adults now) and if I'm lucky with my grandson who is 4 now possibly grand daughter who is still on the assembly line:)! Then pass it on to one of them or someone who will appreciate it as I!
I don't know thevintricate info on thebgood or bad parts and what makes them worth more or less! Although I gave some sporters, I just got into collecting a couple, ( I have two ex Canadian ranger #4's ) but no LB yet and no c no 7 which is what I really want!
 
Like many other military surplus rifles, the selling prices of these has gone through the roof.
Complete sets, original rifle in the chest, will go north of two grand - sometimes a lot more.

I suspect that many of the buyers want one for the same reason that you do - used one in cadets. That is why I bought my first one (which is a parts gun).
Personally, I don't think a clone like the one I posted is worth any more than the sum of the parts and the time it took to build. It is only representative, and a fun shooter. But no collector value.
Same as the No. 2 Mk.IV clone I made up out of assorted salvaged SMLE parts. Fun .22 but no collector value.

A .22 No. 5 clone would be interesting.

As projects, .22 conversions are worthwhile projects. Good way to put barrels with horrible bores to use.
Over the years, there were a number of .22 training conversions done. The Israeli K98K based ones are an example.

Yea, north of $2000. I would love to find a reasonable original with case for $2500. Haven't seen any for less than $3500. Lately and most are more than that!
 
Anyone have the one that matches my transit box??

There is one on the EE right now with transit case, can anyone shed light on what it is and isn't? Thanks, I don't see close pics of the wrist area/serial # doesn't look to me to be a lined barrel but could be a put together which isn't the end of the world but price should reflect if it is. Cheers.
