Long Branch postwar FTR work

[x westie]

Did the Long Branch factory or as it was called after the WW2,... Canadian Arsenals Limited, do any FTR contracts or factory rebuilds on Canada's large stocks of NO.4 rifles , as the Brits did with their N0.4...and the U.S. on the Garand rifles....or was FTR work done at base workshops by RCEME .

In Ian Skennerton's book "The British Service Lee there is no mention of a postwar FTR program , that is until , 1949,1950 when new rifle production was started.

I believe you'll find that any Long Branch made before the changeover in 1950 to parkerizing, which is greenish parkerized, was FTR'd at Canadian Arsenals. I've never seen a colour like that on anything else ever...
