My new pristine Long Branch, what a find!

[Lee Enfield]

What is a "CAL" FTR? I assumed all FTRs had FTR stamp but I recall now that Canadian's didn't necessarily do that. I am very stoked. Even if arsenal FTRd it apparently went straight to storage afterwards. This actually makes me even happier to know that it like did see use at some point to warrant being rebuilt. Couldn't figure out how a 1943 would have been so clean. Thanks for the input! Skennerton's book is in the mail as we speak (as is the Broad Arrow). Can't wait to get it.

CAL FTRs are not marked as such in the traditional British fashion.

On January 1, 1946 "Small Arms Limited" (commonly known as "Long Branch") became "Canadian Arsenals Limited" or "CAL" but still commonly known as "Long Branch" during the Enfield era.
