Deactivated WWII Lead Lease Lee Enfield No4 MKI* .303 Rifle

A WWII US "Lead Lease" Lee Enfield No4 MKI* .303 Rifle. Only produced during WWII for the British Government, it was manufactured by Canadian firm Long Branch in 1943 under the 'lend lease" agreement to help arm Allied & Common Wealth forces during the war. Many of these rifles failed to make it to Europe due to the heavy loses inflicted on merchant shipping by German U-boats. Thankfully this example made it. It comes fitted with a British canvas sling.
