Since I'm here....

....I might as well post some.
While I live in the U,S, I have two Lee-Enfield rifles with Canadian roots.

The first is a 1941 Long Branch N04 Mk1

It's story while in my possession is here.

The other I posted about before.
It is a BSA Commercial No1 that was owned by a Canadian Shooter.

Both together

Yes I like posting pictures of my guns

Very nice,

And, If I'm not mistaken, 1941 is a VERY rare year for Long Branch rifles, and non star Long Branch No.4 rifles are also, VERY rare.

very nice rifles.

nice rifles!

Nice work on the restore. The pistol grip mod was awful. I restored a bubbad
#4 recently and it is nice to see them as they were meant to be. It's amazing how many Lee Enfields are collected in the US. I find that American collectors are at least as interested as Canadians.

That #1 Mk 3 has beautiful wood. Glad to see them so well taken care of.

just looking at your blog post,

the first full lenght stock you had was one of the early low wall foreends.

'41 Long Branch rifles are THE lowest production year. Someone told me that many '41 dated rifles have '42 dated barrels and actual '41 produced barrels are very rare. I'm no expert on Lee Enfields, someone else will chime in.

Those look like DCRA target rifles to me. Are they?
PH 5C rear target sights tell the tale
