You recognize well. At the time of the trade I vowed to you it would have a proper long term home with and that I was not out to flip it.

I hope you still have the 1942 NZ issued Long Branch I traded you?

I had one similar until 2-3 years ago when I traded it for a "FF" marked matching. Fianna Fial 1918 BSA III*

"Has Irish "Fiana Fail" double F in a circle logo on the the barrel under the the rear handguard."

The last pic is your former rifle on the left with a Brit No.7 on the right.

Hi Mike, Shockingly, in my entire Lee-Enfield collection I own only two No.4's. A MINTY SA issued 1942 Savage No.4 Mk I and and a unrestorable 1941 0L78xx Long Branch that I am making into a deer rifle.

Savage - "Includes SA marked sling, action cover, Brass oiler, UZI No.4 bayonet, MECAR grenade launcher with holster. British Lend Lease “U.S. Property”. (Add $350)"

"Kalamazoo, MI 2002 (Shoulder purchase at gun show) Traded a mismatched and cracked P’14 for it!"

Long Branch - "Shortened ‘42 barrel. Missing the charger bridge. Early Example. Has early Long Branch round cocking piece. Butt has cheek piece. Fazakerley micrometer rear sight."

I know folks. OT from .22's. I will refrain future.

Dave

I love the .22 trainers!  Only have two but my Canadian stamped LSA Sht. 22 MkIV has the Cooey rear sight which is kind of rare.  The other is a BSA Sht 22 MkIV* with a PH5A  sight since added

Not an Enfield .22, just a relative which I don't love as much!  A War Office Pat. 1907 Training Rifle marked to the Durban Light Infantry. Note Para. 2 in the accompanying document from our Military Archives.

I do occasionally use this rifle loaded with a .22 round from which the bullet has been removed and replaced with No.9 shot. Very effective against garden-invading birds!

Same. Used with a special attachment to the rifle for some Canadian .22 Lee-Enfield trainers.
