Nice looking carbine, Littlejohn! I started collecting as a teenager in the 1960's and focused on British military stuff. It was a lot cheaper than U.S. Arms and some good gun books (in English) were available and inexpensive. Neat things showed up at Michigan shows, coming into the U.S. from Canada. A little bit of knowledge and not too much competition from other collectors, made it great fun! I lost interest in the Lee-Enfield rifles, as shooters, because a lot of them were tough on Brass. I have sold off some of the rarer things, I lucked into, as my interest in other arms grew. I came to the sad realization there were too many variations of Lee-Enfield rifles and too many 'Holy Grails' that were out of reach. I have kept these example rifles, that were acquired before 1968, and some bayonets picked up along the way. My youngest son would like to have these someday.

Nice trio of British rifles. I'd like to have a No.1 MKIII. Haven't found the right one yet.
My other Enfield is a No.4 MK1* made in 1942 at Small Arms Ltd. Long Branch, Ont. CA

To kind of stay on topic, here are a couple of rifles with bayonets fixed. 1945 Izhevsk Mosin M44, and Chinese factory 636 SKS.
