The big reveal...

I recently picked up a 1945 Long Branch No 4 Mk 1*. the rifle itself was in desperate need of a deep clean, came installed with a civilian butt pad, needed an extractor, a new magazine, and had bent front sight protectors. after some fantastic work by my local gunsmith here she is!

My great uncle came ashore Nan Green sector, Juno Beach on June 6 1944 with the Regina Rifles. The weapon he carried was a long branch just like this.

Here's to many years of enjoying shooting this rifle!

My best advice is don't wait. If you see one for a decent price and you have the money, go for it
