Gentlemen, I submit my lone Longbranch:
Ser# 69L75XX
Receiver is dated 1944
Matching bolt & receiver
CMkIII rear sight
I bought it "Bubba'd" and all replacement fittings and wood are correct except for the mag. Need one marked for Longbranch. Rifle has no import stamps and is in excellent condition.
35L0248 - I only have the serialed magazine. If you own the matching rifle PM me.
No4Mk1* Long Branch 1942 SN 11L5879 matching bolt, and mag. Steel butt plate (black), walnut stock with groove (sanded but it is LB can just make it out), MkIII sight (broken), Savage band and missing front sight protector. Greek import parkerization with CAI. barrel 2 groove with good headspace and mint bore with no muzzle wear.
Limpetmine, Here's mine: 68LL5312
1944 Longbranch #4 Mk 1 * all matching except mag which has no serial # on it.
Blacken steel buttplate
Non- groved upper HG
Mk 111 rear sight
Stock is not serialized, it is marked several times with the Canada Broadarrow mark.
Non FTR . Excellent condition wood, finish and near mint bore.
My mistake on the above serial #. I put another L in there. There is only one. Correct serial is 68l5312.
1943 27L9431 matching reciever, bolt, and magazine. Full chrome, brass butt plate, replacement stock 1967, no import marks, LB Mk II sight and bad headspace with No. 2 bolthead.
I have a Longbranch 1942 No4 Mk1* serial number 8L0071 that appears to have gone through a rebuild as the receiver looks to be parkerized but the barrel is blued. What is odd is that the barrel has 6 grooves whereas I've only read about 5 or less. The barrel has the Canadian 'C' with the arrow inside next to the number 35 and a lightly stamped 5 above that number. It has a crest stamped in it consisting of crossed flags, a crown at the top, a P at the bottom, and a partial character on either side. There is also a '50 stamped nearby the crest. So, if I did my research correctly it was produced in 1942, refurbed in 1950, using a barrell made in 1935? Receiver and barrel both have the same acceptance stamp. Receiver and bolt serial numbers match. So far everything but the trigger has the LB stamp, the trigger is marked with a square 'S' (Savage?).
I have a 1942 #4 Mk1 Longbranch, S/N: 4L0955 purchased in Feb 1992. Excellent condition, all matching (including Magazine), groved handguard, great bore. I havn't fired it yet, but plan to real soon.
