As Englishman.ca mentions, we bought several thousand no4mk2 in the late 90s to supplement the existing stocks of rifles. I heard form a weapons tech friend in Edmonton around 2005 that they were doing in inspections on several thousand more rifles which he indicated to be of Indian manufacture, however when I talked with the LCMM on this subject a few years ago he did not know about them. One of the two is mistaken.

I remember when I first got into the regular force in the early 80s, about 300 no4s came from base supply over to us at base maintenance for destruction. The bolts came over about a year or two later for the same fate.
