    Questions for people with more knowledge

    Hey guys, I’m rather new to this and prefer people with more expertise on the subject matter. I have a current WW2 rifle collection, and have a numbers matching k98k, 91/30, and m1 garand. I really want a WW2 Britishicon lee enfield, but I want it to be one that was used by the British. All I ever seen to find are ishapores and long branch’s. Which one would have truly been used by a British soldier. I’m very sorry if I posted this wrong, but it is my first time. Thanks in advance!

    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.

    The Brits were not picky, they used No4 rifles from their own factories as well as Savage (US) and Longbranch Canadianicon). Canadian troops also ended up with a mix of various No4's especially at the start of the war. The Aussies stuck with their No1s though. So, if you have a chance to pick up a Savage or Longbranch, it was likely used by a Britishicon soldier or a Canadian soldier.
