Hi all,

I am currently in the PPCLI and transferring to the New Zealand Army and want to bring a long branch with me. I also visit family in South Africa from time to time and would love to bring a fine Canadian specimen LB 303 with me to the cape town 303 club shoots. I keep trying on this site but either miss them or cant find them when i want one. Can anyone tell me here if there is another good source of a good matching LB 303? I love the history of them and want one so bad but don't want to invest in the wrong one or mismatched rifles.

Here you'll find a auction from a couple of months ago with the prices things sold for.

Congratulations .. I envy you ... I knew a Capt from PPCLI in the late '80's that went to New Zealand to serve ... and never came home afaik ... he REALLY had a great time! I am sure you will too! Mind you he only bothered to write when he was in hospital recovering from rugby injuries....take care.
