SOLD MON 12-16 CANADIAN LEE ENFIELD NO. 4 mK1* LONGBRANCH 1950, FINAL YEAR OF PRODUCTION, MINT!

HERE WE HAVE AN EXCELLENT  EXAMPLE OF A 1950 PRODUCTION LONG BRANCH NO4 RIFLE.  THIS IS ALL MATCHING AND FACTORY ORIGINAL.  THIS WAS THE LAST YEAR THEY WERE EVER MADE.  PRODUCTION WAS STARTED UP IN 1950 AFTER WW2  TO ARM THE ARMY UNITS GOING TO KOREA.  THE 1950 DATED RIFLES ARE CONSIDERED TO BE THE BEST LONG BRANCH RIFLES THAT WERE EVER MADE AND THEIR ACCURACY IS LEGENDARY.   IT IS NOT BRITISH PROOFED SO CLEARLY THIS ONE STAYED IN THE CANADIAN ARMY DURING ITS SERVICE LIFE.    THIS IS JUST A TOP OF THE CANADIAN WW2/ KOREAN CONFLICT  SERVICE RIFLE IN A NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND CONDITION.  I CAN’T KEEP EVERY MINT GUN THAT WE GET BUT I SURE DO LIKE THIS RIFLE AND THE OTHER ONE THAT WE TOOK IN AS WELL.   YOU MAY HAVE READ IN THE NEWS RECENTLY THAT THE CANADIAN RANGERS WERE GIVING UP THEIR NO 4 ENFIELD RIFLES BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT FIND PARTS.  I BET MANY A RANGER WOULD GIVE A TOOTH OR TWO TO GET THEIR HANDS ON THIS NEARLY NEW 70 YEAR OLD RIFLE.  YOU COULD NOT HAVE A BETTER FRIEND IN THE WOODS OF THE GREAT WHITE NORTH!
