Irish (?) contract No4 rifles

[Frederick303]

I will be adding a few more posts, as follows:

1) Irish SMLE 1939 to 1956.

2) The Irish .22 SMLE conversions, 1945 to 1991.

3) The M1917 in Irish service and disposal, 1940 to 1960

4) An analysis of the serials number ranges of the Irish No4 MkII: ranges seen and how to tell is a gun was likely send to Ireland.

5) Disposal of Irish weapons: Brief summary of when Ireland sold guns, to whom, where they went and what arms were dumped at sea. Not a complete record but all the data I have at this time.

It will be a few days as work heated up and I would prefer to put these posts out without some of the small typos the previous two ones had.
