Hi,
My first post.
I just picked up a 1950 LB. s/n 91L8***
1950 barrel, all blued except the mag which is park. It is not numbered. Should the correct mag. be numbered to match on these rifles?

Ok, I hope this isn't dropping a fly in the ointment but I'm looking at my 1950 No4 Mk1* and the finish is entirely oil baked. It's not blued or parked. It the technique of heating a gun part and then quenching in an oil bath and the oil oxidizes onto the metal and forms a protective coating. The finish is a satiny black. Serial number 92L9862.

No LB did not serial number mags.
I'd suggest that any LB mag after 1942 would be user rather than factory marked.
LB stopped numbering forends during 1943, if mags were serialed, it stopped at or before the same period.

On my 1950 dated Longbranch No4 MKI* :
93L5XXX
Everything is blued, no parkerization at all. I have not removed the handguard to check the barrel date, but the receiver & bolt match and are original (no previous # line outs).
