    I have 3 of the No4Mk2's (one still in the mummy wrap). Excellent guns. Although, I feel like the rear peep (even if using the ladder sight) is way too big to make any sort of a precise shot on the No4Mk2, so I buy these plastic inserts to make it smaller. My great uncle was a British Soldier who died in ww1 so I keep a No1 Mk3 on the wall near his portrait and the scroll the family received after he died on the battle field.

    His scroll states: "He whom this scroll commemorates was number among those who, at the call of King of Country, left all that was dear to them, endured hardness, faced danger, and finally passed out of the sight of men by the path of duty and self sacrifice, giving up their own lives that others might live in freedom. Let those who after see to it that his name be not forgotten. Private Harold Hoyle Liverpool Regiment."
