Yeah, probably the first or second one I made. Many years ago, well before even considering there might be a market in stock making.

Every time I lay my hands on my no 4 I feel a link to old Aussie soldiers To sell that rifle would be committing a sin to my country

If it makes you feel any better, this is my grandfathers service rifle, he didn't use it much as he was a Lewis gunner.

Slight problem with that - Australian military never used No4's ! The No1 MkIII* was the mainstay battle rifle for Australian diggers in both WW 1 & 2, the Malaya conflict & Korea. The Brits adopted the No4 as the main battle rifle in WW2.

Two No.5's

I shoot all of them often.
The Jungle Carbines (No.5's) are my favourites.
