Well no one has started one of these in a while (Nobody must be buying milsurps
) so I guess I will. If a mod could sticky it please.
For me it was a good St. Paddy's day. I came home from the shop with my first Longbranch. It is a 60L series, made in '44, 2 groove. Unfortunately she is sporterized, but the metal is intact minus the rear sight being filed to a 'V' (I have a C broad arrow MK3 rear sight in the parts tray). Bolt and receiver match, no numbers on the mag. Wrist is marked 'England' so I feel the British NOS foreend that I have sitting around will be okay, and find a new home when I get the rest of the parts.
