    No.4 Stock fore ends and lower

    I have a spare stock for my 4's and was doing the BLOicon on it and thought I would have a look for markings and it yielded this CCM stamped on top and bottom metals of the stock, under the front of the bottom fore end LB 66 which I gather is Longbranch 66(Year?), 4L7472 (What year was this rifle?) C & crows foot (I gather Canadianicon issue), just in front of the screw front trigger guard is a Z, under rear left hand side near the mag well cut out is a J, on the back tie strap there is a circle with a B in it. I appreciate as always and information supplied by members.

    CCM is Canadianicon Cycle and Motor Co. Thousands of these steel end caps were used on UKicon made fore-ends and handguards
