Needs more Longbranch pics.
Sort of makes you wonder why they surplused off so many of these fine rifles if they were still in use. This 1950 Longbranch is like new. |

Yeah they have been trying to find a new bolt gun for years, I don't think there is a replacement yet. They tried to get ruger to license the scout to colt Canada but ruger laughed at them. Basically a nice article but there is still no replacement, I think.

Correct on no replacement, primarily because Diemaco doesn't manufacture a bolt action rifle (or at least not one that suits their requirements) and the rifle has to be of Canadian manufacture. |

Not sure if there's a issue with volume, cost, or what. I do remember reading that other companies had been approached to license/sell their design to Diemaco, but they all ran screaming into the night. I'd imagine that if the existing relationship between PGW and Diemaco could facilitate this, they would've already done so, but... well, government contracts and all

We'll see how long this lasts this time. They've been trying to replace the Rangers' Enfields for awhile, along with the WWII-production Inglis 9mm pistols that are still standard Canadian issue. The issue is that the Canadian military procurement system is horribly screwed up, and whatever rifle is chosen must be manufactured by Colt Canada. As Colt Canada doesn't make a bolt-action rifle, and understandably nobody else wants to give Colt Canada their design, nothing has come of this and nothing is likely to come of it.
Honestly, they should just put a modified No. 4 back into production; use a synthetic stock and chamber it in 7.62 NATO. The Rangers like their Enfields and they work under the conditions they need them to work in. |

I have also now done the Wikipeadia thing "The Canadian Rangers (often mistakenly called the Arctic Rangers) are a sub-component of the Canadian Forces reserve that provide a military presence in Canada's sparsely settled northern, coastal, and isolated areas. Formally established on May 23, 1947, a primary role of this part-time force is to conduct surveillance or sovereignty patrols (SOV PATS) as required. Some Canadian Rangers also conduct inspections of the North Warning System (NWS) sites and act as guides, scouts, and subject matter experts in such disciplines as wilderness survival when other forces (such as Army units of the Regular Force or Primary Reserve) are in their area of operations." |

The change is a waste of time. The Enfield is perfectly suitable for what they need. New semis like C8s or other are useless. They need something robust which the Enfield is.

Since Canada is looking to manufacture the new rifle at Colt Canada or Diemarco, or whatever it's called, why bother trying to license a design for a current bolt gun? Why not just make new Lee Enfields or Mausers? There can't be any standing patents on those designs. I guess maybe current manufacture might be prohibitive whereas obviously a Ruger or Remington is designed for use with current manufacturing methods?
Does Canada have any other native gun manufacturers? I guess Para ordinance?? is in Canada?
