No4 Based Target rifles - Collectable?

Nice. What exactly are they? Is the top one an AIA model?

Not by the look of that Enfield 7.62 magazine; the AIA's have an M-14 type magazine

Top rifle is a Longbranch '43 No1/3 DCRA, 2nd from top: Parker Hale 4T. 3rd from top: A.J. Parker "Excel". Bottom: Canadian-built scrubbed No4 Mk2 target rifle with Enfield 7.62 barrel and PH 'twin-zero" sights.

Thanks for the photos curator. Very nice rifles. Those are almost exactly what I was hoping to add to my collection. Permission denied unfortunately.
A wandering zero I know, but here is another "collectable" I found to try and get the point across... http://cybermotorcycle.com/gallery/t...on_Trident.htm
No restrictions on ownership either!.
I admit I am surprised how few here seem interested in these rifles. I think many of them are at least as desirable as a Classic milsurp.

Thanks for the responses.

JSS,

I got a couple of my 7.62 Enfields from my Canadian relatives when the long-gun registery took effect several years ago. Living on the border in Western New York, it was relatively easy for them to get them across to me. Sorry to say, my grandfather and his family left England for America in 1920 because of economic and civil restrictions, among those, gun registration and licensing. I actually have my Grandfather's Boer-War Webley MkIV pistol he brought back from Africa, and a Martini Enfield .303 rifle he used to train "native" troops in the Transvaal. Imagine that happening today!

Ah, a Tiger? I mentioned a Tiger. The original wolf in sheeps clothing - or was that the Mini Coopers of 1962
