Savage Lee Enfield not lend lease

[Frederick303]

Lend lease started in late February of 1941, well before the US entered the war. I do not recall when the first shipments of No 4 rifles was made, but it was likley after Feb of 1941, I seem to recall that 1941 dated North Amercian No 4 rifles are relatively unknown.

I believe the first rifle came out in June/July 1941 with 25,000 +/- to be completed by the end of 1941; however, only 1,300 +/- were completed. I'll have to pull the book back out to confirm this.
