Lee Enfield Sniper Rifle No 4 Long Branch 1943 c/w RARE REL 5X Scope

This highly collectible Rifle has a RESERVE bid of $6500.

A 1943 Long Branch Lee-Enfield No. 4 sniper rifle equipped with a 5X Canadian Research Enterprises
Ltd. (REL) scope is a highly sought after military surplus piece.
Only a very small, documented number of these rifles were originally factory converted during World
War II, making authentic models exceptionally rare and valuable.

This is a EXCELLENT condition Lee Enfield LONG BRANCH 1943 No 4 Model made for Canadian
Military.

Comes complete with a REL 5X (5 Power) Scope.

The REL (Research Enterprise Ltd) scope is mounted to a No 4 Enfield with a Long Branch mount.
Attached are some pictures from the reference book Without Warning by Clive M Law who details the
Scope and some history. Very little data is available for this setup due to rarity.
In this book there is all new information on Small Arms Limited (Long Branch) and their experimental
rifles as well as information on Research Enterprises Limited and the experimental scopes they
developed for the Long Branch rifles.

Overall condition of the rifle is excellent - Wood stock is excellent and all original - Bluing is at 100%
throughout all exposed surfaces and on the Magazine.

Stamping is clear and all matches - stamp states ASE 40-6 on Bolt Handle and Stock band. On the
left hand side of receiver is No 4 Long Branch 1943 plus some other words hidden by scope mount.
The stock has on underside of wrist a C Broad Arrow stamp plus 8/32 and one I cant read.
The 8/32 mark is actually a Long Branch inspectors mark found on most Long Branch rifles of the
period.
This gun probably did not see any Military service.

On the cheek riser there is a small crack about 1.5 inches (see picture) and a scrape to the finish.
Otherwise condition is overall a 9.5/10.
