    Rare Canadian Arsenals Ltd. rear target sight

    Has anyone ever seen, or heard of this sight? The Long Branch N0.4 it sits on is itself unusual. It came out of an estate sale in the area of the Long Branch factory. It has no serial numbers or military acceptance marks and it's in .308. Speculation is that it was hand-built for or by someone on the LB rifle team. The sight itself may be "one-of" or a prototype. The rifle is in gorgeous condition and shows every sign of having been meticulously cared for. It's an interesting piece of military history, and I just thought I'd share.
