The No. 4 rifle was manufactured starting in 1941 by Small Arms Limited and later by Canadian Arsenals Limited, in Long Branch, Ontario, Canada. They used this rifle in World War II, the Korean War, and into the late 1950s. The No. 4 rifle is still used for drill and was used for range shooting by the Royal Canadian Army Cadets, Royal Canadian Sea Cadets and the Royal Canadian Air Cadets. Most units are stripped of the mechanism that fires the round but at many Cadet Training Centres the rifles are in full working order, the rifle is used at the Vernon Summer Training Center for Feu du joie. The No. 4 was being phased out by the Canadian Rangers as a service rifle starting in 2016. Purchased new and never used / It was in Cosmoline and waxed paper when purchased.
