Swift training rifle

The Swift Training Rifle was a rifle style training gun made in Great Britain during the Second World War.This rifle never actually fired, it simply shot out a fork like wire to show the sights view in comparison to the actual bullet.

The gun was sold to the army training facilities to train recruits as well as to gun clubs to train new members. There were two main Swift training rifles available at the time; the A and B series (loosely based on the Lee-Enfield No.3), there was also a second B Series Rifle almost exactly modeled after the British Lee-Enfield rifle. A similar training rifle was the Canadian Long Branch Training Rifle, disputed as to whether it was a better training rifle or not, and the early series were better made/cheaper.

The Swift Training Rifle came with a paper target on a stand that folded out in a "Deck Chair" fashion, the targets had interchangeable pictures of different scenery for different styles of training.
