    No.4 Stock fore ends and lower

    I have a spare stock for my 4's and was doing the BLOicon on it and thought I would have a look for markings and it yielded this CCM stamped on top and bottom metals of the stock, under the front of the bottom fore end LB 66 which I gather is Longbranch 66(Year?), 4L7472 (What year was this rifle?) C & crows foot (I gather Canadianicon issue), just in front of the screw front trigger guard is a Z, under rear left hand side near the mag well cut out is a J, on the back tie strap there is a circle with a B in it. I appreciate as always and information supplied by members.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    CCM is Canadianicon Cycle and Motor Co. Thousands of these steel end caps were used on UKicon made fore-ends and handguards
