Finnish L-39 Lahti 20mm anti-tank rifle :)

.50 M2, probably modified for semi-auto. Or maybe just an FN-FAL or variant.
Sgt. H. A. Marshal's (of the Calgary Highlanders) Longbranch No.4 (T). :dancingbanana:
Failing that any reasonably priced WW2 issued Longbranch No.4 (T) would do. ;)

Swedish m/40 rifle.
I'm with Oatmeal Savage on this one! Would dearly love to have a Boys rifle, and believe it or not, there isn't any laws against me having one. I know where there are a couple (not for sale of course) and they do come up occasionally from around the AU$3000 to $4000 mark. Get a load of the size of these things. I'd have to put wheels on the bipod and a tow hitch on the butt!
I have my 3 dream milsurps. Theres the Boys, rebarrelled to .50, the LB atching 4T, and the semi auto (restricted only) Sterling police carbine. About the only thing I could upgrade to is an Inglis Boys.
If there is one thing missing, it would be a semi-auto Bren. I'm hoping someone in the US makes an all new receiver that can pass Canada's Converted auto rules before our gunlaws get any worse.
A Boys rifle at $3000 to $4000 would be considered a bargain around here. A bud of mine paid $7000 for an unremarkable one last year.
In all of the pictures I've seen, Marshal is clearly NOT using a LongBranch T.
You can see the bolt release in some pics, and others show the brit/savage relief area around the forward pad.
Few LB Ts made it into the ETO defore VE Day. I've never seen an identifiable pic of a LB T in the ETO.
My "dream" production milsurp is a No4MkI*(T) w/C.No67.
Someday I'll beat that other guy to the draw....
For me it would be a mint Madsen Rifle in 30-06-but I don't know if it qualifies:confused:
