Back in my teen years, back in good old Blighty, I was in the Cadets and then the Weekend Warriors (TA) for s while. I shot on the Company and Battalion shooting teams, our rifle was a Lee Enfield .303. Shot thousands of rounds through one of these. Cut to 35+ years later and I’m now a Citizen of the USA and I walk into my local LGS… I hear angelic music, a beam of light comes through the ceiling, and there on the consignment shelf is a Lee Enfield .303!
I didn’t end up buying it on the spot but went back 3 days later and took it home after waiting for the 10-day jail time to expire. Turns out I bought a 1943 Lee Enfield No4 Mk1*, built-in Chicopee, MS by Savage Arms.
I’ve made it to the range once with it and put 35 rounds through it, shoots great.
