1. Texas Canuck, we stowed the last of the cutlasses just before I joined I think.
   On a brighter note, these are still available. Wilkinson made no less!

2. Canada’s official might very well be the Lee Enfield. There are probably more surplus Lee Enfields here than any other country. My dad had one from the Boer War. I have a mint condition Jungle Carbine dated 1945. There have probably been more deer & moose killed with the 303 than any other calibre. Not only that, they’re still very capable weapons. And, they’re an older design than the 1911. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are soldiers carrying Lee Enfields right now, somewhere in the world.

3. Being my family has little hunting & military history, yet were all Saskatchewan homesteaders, can’t help but think of Canadian firearms as beat up Belgian double barrel 12ga side hammer shotguns with stocks of salvaged axe handle wood…

4. Good one Abe! Temporarily effective, but not permanant.

   I’ve seen Military acting as policemen carrying them in India recently.
   Enfield’s are good guns’ mine is stamped “US property”.

6. US property? I’ll bet there’s some interesting history there.

7. An Enfield rifle stamped US Property is most likely a M1917, a variant of the Pattern 14. Military surplus rifles always have interesting history associated with them, especially the pre-1945 vintage.

   Unfortunately I’m not sure. I bought it from a friend on the cheap over 30 years ago whose father had owned it but passed away. I didn’t get a story to go with it.
   Anyway it is a Mark 4 and has become a great well shooting heirloom regardless.

9. > Mk or No.4
   To much Ruger on the brain lately 🙂

10. My dad’s Enfield had a 28″ barrel, a sand shield, and a 2800 yard sight with a dial. It was obviously a sniper’s rifle from the Boer war. My dad hit a deer at 280 yards with open sites. With an almost 3′ sight radius, it was crazy accurate.
