I bought a 1943 No4 Mk1 star Longbranch on Sunday. It’s been refurbished and appears to have a new Criterion? Barrel fitted. All matching numbers, including forewood. Has what appears to be armoury stamp on the wrist like the Swedes did with their rifles. Also has NZ stampings. Shot it a couple of days ago using surplus Greek ammo. Not as accurate as any of my Swedes, but a completely different experience. I believe I will get used to it, esp now the trigger has loosened up so first and second stage are discernible.
