Hi Folks,
My late father served with the British army in North Africa during WW2. When I was young and a war film would come on the TV he would always comment about his rifle and his Bren gun most of the time to say that they were the best infantry weapons around. Occasionally he would talk about things he did and one story he told was about him and his mates setting the sights on their Lee Enfields to 1000yds and seeing who could hit the enemy first, another was about boiling the kettle to clean the barrels with boiling water.
As I get older I come to appreciate things he did and told me more and more, so I've decided to try and get a similar rifle to his, unfortunately I don't know much about it, from my reading I think it was probably a No.4 Mk1.
Having looked on the 'net and in shops I've discovered that there is a huge price variation between what looks like very similar rifles.
After my long winded intro what I'm asking for is some advice on what to look for, am I correct in assuming I'm looking for the right model, is place of manufacture important and any other information you may be able to pass on.
Thanks in advance.
