Milsurps / Prohib The big reveal...

Post image

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!

I got crazy lucky and found an all original SMLE on gunpost for $450 a few days ago. Sometimes you can find good deals if you constantly look.

Wow!! Did you buy it? Also, how does one make a purchase on GunPost? I can't find a buy button anywhere. Do you have to have your PAL validated on your account first or something?

Yes I bought it. On gunpost you have to message the seller and make a deal with them privately.
