I have been trying to obtain a matching 1950 Long Branch. I have all of the other manufacturers represented in my collection (including a POFicon, which you don't see too often) and all match including bolt, mag and forend, and all with the appropriate markings specific to that manufacturer. All right, a little anal, but humour me. The reason I want a 1950 LB is because I was born in Canadaicon in 1950. I am now a US citizen and apart from Canada have lived in Englandicon, Ireland and Saudi Arabia. The thing is that I have owned 2 and neither had the s/n on the mag or the forend. In fact, none of the 1950 LB's that I have seen either at gun shows or auction sites have the s/n on those parts. I am beginning to conclude that my northern cousins discontinued the practice sometime after the war. Any comments on this subject would be appreciated.
