LongBranch 1955

[Lee Enfield]

Thanks for all the info guys...so it seems like since the bolt was scrubbed, the barrel receiver were new, there really were no parts to carry over from a 1941 rifle for this build....so it kinda remains a mystery why and whoever did this chose to use a early serial #......heck it's not even really a LB serial # given that it's 5 digits after the prefix L. Safe to say then it was more than likely not built by Canadian Arsenals?

I think that there is a misunderstanding here, while CAL manufactured the parts, the likelihood is that a rebuilt gun was accomplished at Depot level, ie) Montreal or Edmonton ect. rather than sending it back to CAL.

Also looking at your receiver serial number, the last "0" doesn't necessarily appear to be the same as the first one.
