Information Requested 1941 LB No4 MkI

[Frederick303]

I have one very much like that. /46 marked 0L803X, serial number and early bolt knob and re-marked bolt body, with the same font as the rifle shown. it is a later bolt body, as it does not have the drilled out bolt knob but the original 0L is still showing Restamped serial obviously hand stamped, the last two digits were opposite (X3) and then remarked (3X). Round cocking knob, # 1 bolt head

The front sight guard is the Long Branch marked waisted part. The front band is the split Long Branch part and is a lighter shade blue finish then the rest of the rifle. The middle band is milled but no Long Branch marking. Wood is well used, bore is like new. mazak butt.

Rear sight is the CMK3 milled part and has a different blue than the rest of the action body/barrel. Magazine is odd, has Canadian UCF follower, but no LB mark on body.

It is very close to the rifle shown. My guess was that rifle was more or less correct as it left the workshop.

Wow, that is nearly exactly this rifle.
Same thing with my mag... Follower it's Canadian marked but not the mag. All the wood is either savage or Longbranch marked.
