And another toy... vewy bwitish.

Bought this rifle today, a Lee Enfield Nr 4 Mk1, manufactured in Canada in 1943. The paratroopers bayonet was a bonus. I like the SMLEs, the peephole rear sight is a lot easier on the eyes, and even though it´s not as tough as the ususal Mauser, it´s a nice rifle, and I liked all the LEs I fired before, even the "Jungle Carbine".
