Hi,
So... I may be purchasing a 1950 Longbranch No4Mk1*... that has apparently been modified to be a target rifle...
I'm a bit hesitant... and think this may have been done by some guy de-bubbafying it... here's why... and let me know if I'm wrong please...
1- The rear hand guard is the kind with the cuts along it... I thought that by 1950 they were using solid hand guards
2- The butt plate is brass... shouldn't it be black steel?
3- LB stamped... not CA... when did CA take over?
4- The safety is the kind with the hole in the middle... not the boot shaped one... is this a common mod for the target rifles?
5- The barrel hasn't been free floated... I thought they free floated the target models???
Thanks for your help... I look forward to hearing what you guys think.
