DCRA Inbound

[Gun George]

Hey guys,

I finally found a nice DCRA No 4 rifle, and it comes with a sterling mag and Parker Hale sight. Talk about good luck! It's a real nice rifle in great shape, and I'm just waiting for delivery. Will keep you posted, and yes, it's a Long Branch 42.

Is it common for these rifles to have a black phosphate finish as opposed to blued?

finish should be suncorite

a sort of paint

check to see if it has the correct repeater parts

The Sterling mag is unnecessary. In Canada the conversions were simply the barrel and extractor, with everything that was removed reattached for return to the customer.

The course of fire for DCRA and Bisley style shooting has always been single loaded shots fired in rotation with another shooter. You fire, the target goes down, rifle off the shoulder and prepare for the indication, he calls the score and marks your match ticket, watch the wind, other shooter fires, repeat.

Not unless it's been through a British FTR.

you know.... your right, I was just thinking about my DCRA (Savage) and it has a flakey coat over the factory finish.

LB rifles should have some sort of phosphate blue / black as a original factory finish
