Can you be French and love Lee Enfields?

Of course you can!

I love them, collect them and use them with great pleasure.

Sadly, very little documentation or books are available in France, so what a pleasure to be able to read you on this forum!

he!!o to all enthusiasts and Best regards from France!

We have a few French members, & some living, or who have lived in France in France, so you should be able to find some French-slanted information to help you.

Thak you very much!

I mainly own Lee enfield No. 4s, most of which I import from England.

Now importing a real n° 4 T and a other n°4  with the round cocking piece, both chambered in .303 british.

I particularly like the Lee Enfield 22lr, n° 2, 8 & 9, I dream of a real n° 7, but I'm not sure I'll be able to find it as they are so hard to.

But what I really love is the Lee Enfield story, the Skennerton and Laidler books.

I am sorry to be not fluent in English

Regards from France!

Hope that, thank you very much.

Even in English, it will help me improve my bad English.

Again,  welcome to the forum...

Thanks a lot, Goosic!

Surely one of those parachuted into France during WWII, to help the French "Resistance"!

Which makes it a rare and historic N°4, and a beautiful one at that!

Lucky Gossic! Thumbs Up
