It depends on my mood I guess. The No.4 has a very get down to business and get the job done look while the No.1 is quite elegant.

Two instructors from the Sniper Division at Warminster know a thing or two about rifles and here they are with the prize. And their rifles, my favourite too. The L42A1
I must say I think the L42 is most 'andsome too. Mind you
the no1 mk3 is the most iconic for me.
Does this glut of pictures mean that a mastery of the uploading process has been acquired Peter? ;) Can we expect a 125-picture special of the LAIDLER no 4t in the near future?:bow:
No.4 with groove cut upper hand gaurd.
Wouldn't mind a L42A1 my self ......
Just looks? Nothing else?
Have to rank them, I suppose.
Snider 2-band Sgt`s Rifle Mark III
LE Mark I
SMLE MarkIII
Number 4
and they ALL look pretty darned good, when you get right down to it, each in its own particular era.
I think there is NO weapon as downright intimidating as an SMLE with that extra 17 inches on the front end. The Pattern 1903 bayonet looks positively POLITE in comparison!

AFAIK thaty would be any Canadian produced Long Branch No4 ....Quote:

The prize. I am assuming that is the proverbial "gong".Quote:
