M96 Tale of Woe
Well, I was very excited to add an M96 to my collection. Mid-July I purchased an all matching 1917 CG. Stock disk said the bore was a 3, but it looked good and slugged out at 6.51.

"T" coded Longbranch's ?
I was at the range today, and an acquaintance was there with a few Enfields. One is for sale - though he wants quite a bit for it. Its dated 1950 and its marked Longbranch and had a "T" on the left receiver - which he states made it a sniper variant. I can't tell if its a bubba job or not....
