EAL Rifle

[No4Mk1(T)]

To the best of my knowledge none of the military models were fitted with a scope well in service. However if it’s got three holes down the left side of the receiver I believe your looking for one of the Weaver side mounts (sorry cant remember the model number). As for a scope a K4 or an Alaskan would make for a classic hunting rig.

I too was CERTAIN that the military never used a scope of any kind. It's just not the way they do things. Wheaty has some info to the opposite. I would also point out that of the ones I saw, none were drilled and tapped like the one Wheaty demonstrated. Most weren't tapped at all.

What horrible looking rifles is all I can say...... I wonder exactly what sort of trials such a beast had to undertake prior to its acceptance by the Canadian Government. I wonder how it would have fared had it undergone exhaustive trials at our pretty independent but tough Trials and Development Unit. Any Canadian trials papers exist?

Likely the same trials as the Canadian Longbranch No4 Mk1 that everyone desires so much, as they are definetly related mechanically and Geographic. Mine still works.

definetly related mechanically

They should be, they were direct conversions of existing guns.

Probabably the same trials as Long Branch rifles which seemed to be good enough for your" pretty independent but tough Trials and Development Unit" especially after Dunkirk
