Italy was using No. 4's among their Navy, they had thousands of those (and obviously some of them were converted to sniper rifles). They received them under the NATO contract from Canada.

Interesting that some of the No4s are DPs that have been "barred out" - i.e. returned to service......Quote:

Great read the article, very interesting. If you see people refering to shutters in future, you should know what they are on about.
I have just been told that at the end of WW11 the Italians bought the plans,patterns and the rights to manufacture the No32 scope. The British War Office were grateful for the money I think. The Italians thought highly of the No4 Lee Enfield and their navy had quite a number, including No4(T)s.....
Wow, theres some really nice original guns there, that early shield Lithgow is really nice!
Also italian infantry used enfield rifle. A friend of mine carried a No.4mk1 in 1979 during his duty ...
