The sad truth is that most of these generous gifts from America were never issued and, post-war, destroyed by the British Government. It was a callous propaganda exercise to get ordinary, decent, US Citizens feeling that they had a stake in Britain's fate in WWII nor more no less. In fact lawful civilian owners of sporting rifles had to surrender them in 1940 "for the duration". My late mother was convinced she didn't get HER exact same rifle back in 1946 as she'd surrendered in 1940. Thank you for posting the link. Here's one back at you: https://youtu.be/1E4jwmPj6hg | |||

The Harrington & Richardson "Handy Gun" type that your 1930s (?) legislation made "illegal" in the US? I had one in fact here in the UK in .410" 3". It was a nice thing. I even shot a killed a pigeon with it once. | |||

Several years ago at a gunshow I picked up a 2nd model S+W hand ejector in 45 LC. that had the lend lease glyphs stamped in. Never mistake motion for action. | |||
