Guys I bought an Enfield and am wanting to know some history behind it. The story I got was a individual was selling his private collection. This enfield was on the shelf for hours before it was sold. Anyhoo, here are the pictures. View attachment 519060 View attachment 519061

Odd, I posted from my tablet last night. Maybe something went screwy. Hopefully these will appear.

A very nice Canadian Long Branch No.4 Mk.1.* Looks like the original wood has been replaced. It has an early (2L) serial number, so would be Early 1942 production. Long Branch bolt head.

The "kicked leg" safety is also from Long Branch, but was not available in early 1942, so the original safety has been changed at some point. The rear sight would most likely have been the 2 aperture flip-type with no adjustment.
