SKU: F19
A seldom-seen and highly desirable Longbranch No.4 Mk1 TP Sniper Rifle, serial number 74L0215, composed from genuine and period-correct components. This rare TP (Telescope Proofed) sniper rifle is a 1944-dated Longbranch Mk1 example, paired with a Griffin & Howe scope bracket and a Lyman Alaskan scope (serial number 44928), complete with broad arrow military stamp.
Although the rifle and scope bracket are mismatched, this is believed to be a composed rifle assembled from original wartime parts, a common practice post-war or by discerning collectors. The rifle features the correct Canadian cheek piece, further authenticating its configuration as a Longbranch TP setup.
The barrel gauges at 0.30425, showing only slight wear and retaining strong rifling—making this an excellent candidate for both collection and precision shooting. The Longbranch TP is one of the rarest No.4 sniper configurations, issued in small numbers and difficult to source today, especially in such honest and well-preserved condition.
