My First Ever Deact.

[Norrie]

Just collected this today...and love it already...it's in fantastic condition and more than likely it's never been issued...Imported from Canada by Ryton Arms in 1999....by the thousands.....therefore has a good deactivation...cocks and dry fires... It has a Mk1 sight. and came with a dated 1944 sling.

 

All in all I am VERY pleased with it, and it will look great once its in its new home with the mannaquin.

 

Thanks to @Fred Karno's Army for the great information on it...

Hi @DAK D For the money i'm getting it at..( less than the Longbranch ) when i do buy it, .I'm just going to buy it sight unseen...like I did with the Longbranch, and that was super cheap....I've known the guy for a couple of years, hes a gent, and is happy to let his deacts go for what he paid for them...even tho that was  many years ago...TBH...I offered £50 more than he wanted for the Longbranch...he says...too much money...BUT, I'll take...XXX amount .......he's happy....I'm ecstatic..........

long branch number 4's are high quality. workmanship was top notch. i had one dated the same and it was matched, mag and all. it is a shame when any item that is historical is destroyed. i am totally against it.
