Bill, prior to our entry into WW2 and especially after Dunkirk, England was in dire need of firearms. US sportsman responded and sent there own personal guns and ammo to England, with no guarantee of their return.My Dad told me he sent 2 Winchester 1892's, a shotgun and several 22's. They accepted any gun as long as it fired and ammo could be had for it. Most were used by the Home Guard and you can see pictures of these men armed with a vast array of weapons. I think there was a picture in a recent American Rifleman.
