Information Requested 1941 LB No4 MkI

[Brian Dick]

No one seems to know just exactly what country did the FTR and marked them with the "46" date stamp on the left side of the butt socket. I'd make an uneducated guess that it's a European workshop as I had many former Greek owned Long Branch rifles that had the same marking. As far as the bolt renumber, if you look at enough of them you just know. You can check to make sure the bolt fits correctly too because there's more to it than numbering a new bolt body, assembling and slapping it in there. Value is in the eyes of the seller and purchaser. Some don't care and some do.

The bolt fits absolutely meticulously perfect. It is more smooth than my Savage original numbers matching bolt
