My rifle supposedly came from a supply depot. Most LB's in Canadian service were marked with the "C BROAD ARROW". Does the NZicon have all matching #'s? Every NZ arm I have seen has been mismatched, even my WEBLEY. My unused LB has the Mk II sight installed, as my NZ LB does, too. It is very nicely put together, with nice reddish matching wood. It had never been cleaned when I bought it, and it was basically just dusty. No cosmolineicon. Several patches of HOPPE'S in the bore, to check for copper or cupro-nickel, showed no traces of either. Just a lot of lint. The old guy that owned it wasn't a gun guy, he just wanted something to take home. I don't understand why people always think that these unused rifles are faked. Here in Canadaicon, it just isn't worthwhile to build fakes. There just isn't enough of a market for them. I only paid 200 bucks for mine, because it was "just an old .303". There were quite a few CNo.4 Mk1* rifles sold here as unissued, and they were obviously used. Canadian supply depots were not very secure, either. Many vets have all manner of military gear that they took home in '45. An old vet just gave me a huge quantity of Canadian 1919 MkVII ball, in chargers. He told me that he swiped them in '45, and always regretted not stealing more stuff. But he was so sick of the war, he just wanted to leave. According to Skennertonicon, the NZ warehouse where the Charleton rifles were stored was known for having things disappear, too. Maybe the NZ rifle was stolen from there?
