Longbranch No.4 Mk.1*

No.4

Need to know year made (left side receiver). Unaltered? Yes back of bolt handle was numbered at factory. If yours is blank it was likely a mis-matched bolt that had numbers ground off. Pics of rifle would help.

$250-$300 in very good condition, thats good wood and good bore, all matching.

Bolt should be numbered to the rifle, back of the bolt handle, and if your really lucky an armourer may have stamped the serial number onto the mag as well, not really a big deal.

Reciever date is important too I would rather have a late war or a post war production rifle. FTR rifles are good too many had the barrels replaced with new 5 groove barrels and worn parts replaced, and Mk2 triggers installed.

Pictures are needed in this thread, marking s on the reciever will tell the story of the rifle.

$250 - $300 sounds a little light (for the described rifle) to me - at least on this forum :rolleyes:
 
$250 to $350 is more than fair, bolt match or not.

I've seen them at $150 with bayo two years back.

I'd pay no more than $250 with matching bolt if I had to have one.

Of course, I'd pay $250 for a Savage of same description.. :)
 
Rifle is marked "1943". I was advised by the dealer when I asked if it had a matching bolt that the bolt did not have a serial number. After getting some time tonight I looked and there is a number on the bolt which does NOT match the rifle. Back to the dealer. He had headspaced it and fired it and all was O.K. but I do not want another mismatched rifle at any cost. Otherwise it is a 90% rifle....too bad. Thanks for all of your help. Dave
 
If it is mismatched it does not have collector value to most. You need to see if its a good shooter. If it is not....well..then the rifle is not worth much. If its a great shooter then you will want to be able to justify it on that basis
