Finally connected on a 1949 Long Branch in Walnut, VG condition. I believe this one made a trip to Belgium and back.

Superb. What an insult those bloody stamped trigger guards were. I suppose they passed all the tests, but I can't stand the sight of them!:mad:
Very Nice! Who made the back sight? Is it LB Marked?
I don't suppose that it came in the box that it's sat on did it?
You'll have to bring that to the Calgary show so we can fondle it. I'll bet the bore's so shiney it looks like chrome? Very clean looking!
Picked up 1950 LB last week, has slight abuse on the fwd handgaurd and also the serial No on the fore-end sanded out, and some **** has inserted a fitting for a bipod, apart from that not too bad.

The back sight is not LB marked, the prior owner switched it out, he provided it to me.Quote:

It is an LB L42 built from L42 parts on a 1943 LB action. Bit of a story behind this one...Quote:
