The No4 in Action (Ranger Style)

**Stevo** · 11-21-2006 09:28 PM

My Ranger Patrol has a short Ex on the go this weekend. I'll try and get a survey of what we have been issued.

Last time I did an informal look over we had all LB No4 MkI* from '43-'51(?) and one post-war Faz Mk2.

Anyone interested in pics if I get a chance?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

If any of them have the EAL conversion, I'd love pics of those...

Nope, they're all standard No 4's. The EAL's are all supposed to have been withdrawn, though I'm sure there's still some around up north.

EALs had pretty much disappeared in the North, too. They were issued after the supply of No. 4s in inventory was exhausted, and before a new stock was acquired through the purchase of rifles on the surplus market. They were not popular. Don't think they are being used by SAR Techs any longer, either.

It's hard to tell exactly what's in the inventory. For example, when our Patrol was initially issued rifles a beautiful Parker-Hale sporter came out of one of the boxes. It went back to Det. with the WO.

**tiriaq** · 11-22-2006 01:27 PM

At one time there were 3 LB Ts, with 32TP scopes in inventory at NRHQ.

You can see Rangers in shooting action at The Ranger Photo Album

A few pics of Rgr Rifles for you

Those are nice rifles. Are they Patrol spares?

**Cantom** · 11-23-2006 07:28 PM

See those dowels on the side of the stock? They look like the bedding dowels I have on my DCRA rifle...
