    Checked the Faris Collection writeup that Ian did, the description is indeed correct. Rifle #84L6591 was part of Faris collection, Tag No. 210.


    But worth mentioning in this context, the rifle was described by Skennertonicon as "7.62mm Rifle No.4 Mk I* Long Branch, Rifle Club. And by back then it was pictured and described with PH-4 folding backsight to 1000 yds with micrometer windage & elevation. Additionally mentioned are Sterling charger guide adaptor, CR141A (L42A1) magazine Enfield 1965. Rifle is described to be British export proof marked and having a commercially proofed barrel.
