I had a look at a Ranger's Enfields during a sov op back in 97. The rifle was dated 56, which was interesting. But the wood was beat, the external of the rifle rusted. This did not stop the fellow from dropping a Caribou with it and sharing some fresh rations with us.

We were to go on another sov op a couple years later, not quite as far North. The weapons section was tasked with inspecting and repairing the rifles up there, so they ordered 30 of everything along with a half dozen barrelled receivers (which were non accountable). Then, while talking with the LCMM in Ottawa, he was told to simply order new rifles (the DND had bought around 1000 of the no4mk2s from the Britishicon for this purpose) and exchange them. Rifles are an 'S' class item (controlled by serial number) so I am not sure how that would have worked out.
Anyway, long story short, the ex got cancelled due to operational commitments of the aircraft at the last minute, and the parts languished for years in the weapons shop. A few wall plaques were created for some of the classroom walls from assembled and then deactivated Enfields.

Interesting to note that any rear sights ordered were in fact 800 yd jungle carbine sights. The DND must have been buying it's spares on the world market as well. Also, the forestocks were all that orange DCRA/ Cdn Arsenals new in the cardboard wrap type. The rest of the wood was original WW2 stuff.

Around 2004, I was told that Edmonton garrison weapons shop was busy inspecting another 1200-2000 or more no4mk?? bought from India. Some were for immediate issue and others were being put into stores in 1A (Edmonton) depot.
