The Lee-Enfield No. 4 rifle is a legendary British bolt-action rifle that saw extensive use during World War II and beyond, cementing its place as one of the most reliable and effective military rifles of the 20th century. Developed from the earlier SMLE (Short Magazine Lee-Enfield) design, the No. 4 featured a stronger receiver, improved sights, and a heavier barrel, making it more accurate and durable in harsh battlefield conditions. Chambered in .303 British, it boasted a 10-round detachable magazine, allowing for rapid, sustained fire compared to many of its contemporary bolt-action rifles. The rifle’s smooth action and ergonomic design made it a favorite among soldiers, particularly snipers, who often equipped it with a telescopic sight for long-range engagements. Beyond its military service, the Lee-Enfield No. 4 became a staple in hunting, sport shooting, and post-war police forces across the Commonwealth. Even in modern times, the rugged reliability and craftsmanship of the rifle make it a sought-after piece among collectors and survivalists, ensuring its legacy as a weapon that stood the test of time.
