does anyone have an opinion on what would be correct rear handguard for a 1950's Longbranch... grooved or smooth?
thanks in advance

Smooth , although I have seen 1950's dated C No7MkI* .22 Rifles with grooved rear or lower handguards .Quote:

If you have any more Long Branch questions shoot me an e-mail . I have been collecting them , shooting them , monkeywrenching them and building them since I was 15 and a Rifleman Recruit in the Victoria Rifles of Canada , a Montreal Army Reserve Regiment .
