    There were some 6 groove barrels early on - Savage made some. Then LB made the ones using the rifling machinery previously used for Bren barrel manufacture in the 50s. There were those who thought that the LB 6 groove barrels were just the thing for target shooting, so it is not unusual to find them retrofitted on target rifles.
