Well, I strolled into one of the 3 different gun shops in my parts and sitting on the floor rack was this little 1942 Long Branch. Well, my initial reaction was that of amazement. This is the nicest looking Enfield I have personally ever seen. All the numbers match, except the magazine. The wood is almost perfect, with the exception of a glued chip in the buttstock and smells of cosmoline. Steel condition has got to be 98% or better and the bore looks new. Sadly, it has an import stamp near the muzzle (no bring-back for me) and it has a MKIII rear sight instead of the original issue MKI. Price was $220 out the door, so I think I did ok. It is an amazing shooter, as I have been hitting Pepsi cans at 100 yards with surprising ease. Ya, I found a keeper.
