Just thought I would put this out to other Canadian collectors. I came across an ad for a LEC1 in a Canadian gun posting website for sellers/buyers. I called the seller to get pics of bolt and action numbers to see if they matched, and if the gun was in the RCMP depot list. Bolt and action did not match but the kicker was the serial number on the action. Knowing that LEC 1 production was less than 14000 total it raised my eyebrows. Looking it over close it appears that the first and last number had been “added” to the original serial and yes the gun was listed in the rcmp depot list. But at some point “someone” decided it needed its numbers changed. I passed.
