I'll stick with my original opinion in post #5. I'm not an expert by a long shot but I did import hundreds of rifles from Ontario back in the 90's and early 2000's and I had several examples that were obviously built from legit parts that originated in the Toronto, Mississauga area. This includes No.4's, C No.7's and Browning pistols. Many were obvious "lunch box" examples. Others were assembled post CAL auction by Armourers properly and some were not assembled properly by whoever. I had several of the C No.7 trainers built from parts and it was easy to tell they weren't done by an Armourer because I had to refit the rear sight on every one of them before I could add them to inventory. I cannibalized a few of these parts rifles for my own projects too and was glad to get them for the sum of the parts at the time.
