    I was told it went to BSA for repairs and upon completion was stamped. Is this info correct and what does the RB stand for? It has a beautiful 2 groove barrel and was told it has a BSA marked buttstock.
    I believe that you have stumbled upon an early FTR Long Branch.

    If you examine the markings closely you will probably discover that it is R "LB" 11/46 (ie. Repaired Long Branch November 1946).

    This system of markings seems to have been discontinued before 1949.
