Just thought I'd post it for everyones enjoyment. I only have a question about the markings on the forestock. Below the serial # it is stamped K R. Any insight? It is a 1942 Lee Enfield No.4 Mk1* Longbranch Cheers.

Overall appearance is exceptional. Longbranch rifles are seldom a disappointment at all. Thanks for posting. Some close-ups of the action/back-sight would be nice if you can supply them. Thanks again. NRA Endowment member LECS #2

I also got a No.4 mk2 bayonet, I know it technically dosn't go with the rifle, but theres something about the pig sticker bayonet that I rather enjoy. Chimo!

Here's a link to a very helpful site: http://enfieldrifles.profusehost.net/main.htm You say that the forestock wood is stamped with the rifle's s/n??? That would be neat...never saw that on a LB...but I haven't had an early one. Does the bolt match the receiver, the bolt s/n is on the side of the handle?

In the bottom picture it shows the bottom handguard with the service number stamped on it. Yes, the bolt, receiver, and stamp on the forestock all match. Chimo!

Love the figure in the wood. When I first saw the photo I thought to myself, "Something doesn't look right." I went back and looked at it after reading the responses and confirmed that it wasn't right for some reason. I then got my No4 Mk2 out of the safe and compared them. After a few seconds I smacked myself in the head...the bolt and magazine are out of the rifle. Again, that's a really pretty rifle! ~Hessenfesser

I have a Longbranch that I shoot in the military club shoots and if yours is anything like mine it will shoot like a dream. Pay close attention to the suggestions at the top of this Forum as they will save you a lot of time and headaches. I know they helped me a lot. You will find the knowledge of this group of Enfield Shooters to be better than any book you could buy. Ask your questions and they will bend over backwards to help you. Enjoy that fine rifle and let us know how it shoots. Great find!
