Well, it did turn up on Friday, but I got knocked for six by H1N1 flu (I was supposed to go to hospital, but I'm too sick for that lol), and I only now have enough strength to even type. The rifle does appear to be a Canadian Arsenals rearsenal, and all the parts that I have been able to view have the LB marking. I will look at the barrel date when I have enough strength to use a screwdriver The butt plate is mazakicon alloy (well, it is grey, so I assume it is Mazak) but it has been parkerized - would this be normal on a Canadian Arsenals rearsenal? I also noted that the bolt action is a little stiff on closing, so should I consider getting the rifle headspace checked?
