The 1944 Long Branch Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I* is a Canadian-manufactured variant of the classic Lee-Enfield No. 4 rifle, produced during World War II at the Long Branch Arsenal in Ontario, Canada. This rifle, chambered in .303 British, was the standard-issue firearm for British and Commonwealth forces during the war and was known for its rugged reliability and rapid rate of fire thanks to the 10-round magazine and the smooth bolt-action system.

The No. 4 Mk I* is a slightly upgraded version of the earlier No. 4 Mk I, with notable changes such as an improved rear sight and a simplified design for ease of production. The 1944 production year places this rifle at the tail end of the war, a time when the demand for reliable, accurate infantry weapons was at its peak. It was used in numerous theaters of the war, including Europe and North Africa, and continued to see service in various roles with Canadian and Commonwealth forces well after WWII.

Today, the 1944 Long Branch Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I* is a sought-after collector’s piece, valued for both its historical significance and its connection to Canada’s contribution to the war effort.
