Questions for people with more knowledge

[AustinPresnal]

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 British 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!

The Brits were not picky, they used No4 rifles from their own factories as well as Savage (US) and Longbranch Canadian). 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 British soldier or a Canadian soldier.
