While as a young'un my dad's Lee Enfield's where my favorite rifle to shoot, especially his No5Mk1 Jungle Carbine, as I grew older, they fell out of favor with me as I desired a milsurp that nobody really collected, the cosmoline drenched, varnish peeling, Vodka-stained Mosin.
But as I grew older, I decided I wanted to get one for the collection and at the same time my dad was divesting his firearms collection so I jumped at the chance to buy that carbine to shoot again. When he bought it back in the mid 60's this BSA Shirley set him back a whopping $56.00 and had been some sort of parade rifle. But it had a sweet bore and attracted more than its share of attention at the range.
My next 2 fell right in line with my collecting focus. Both are No4 Mk1 "T" sniper rifles, the bottom one being a 1941 Fazakerley /Enfield conversion that made its way from British Army service to Indian Army service, and finally over to the good old USA.
The top one is a 1945 BSA numbers matching rifle right down to its transit case, but sadly has a replacement scope.
