Savage Lee Enfield not lend lease

[Peter Laidler]

Spike, being a bit pedantic, I think that the first Savage rifles were manufactured on a cash and carry basis so actually belonged to the UK. Only later did they become Lend Lease. It doesn't change the thread in any way of course. Or am I wrong here? Pre-Dec 41, cash and carry, paid for, up front, in gold. Post then, lend lease and they remained US property.

As I said, I could be wrong but I recall the true story of the Catalina flying boats and the Diamond-T tank transporters (and half tracks) that we were using up until the early 70's
