    Lost Enforcer

    Does anybody know what happened to Enforcer no. 628 after it left Enfield?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    The Enfield Sales Ledger is illegible for rifle 628 - ir almost looks as if it was written in and then tried to have it erased.
    627 and 629 went to Abu Dhabi but that does not mean that 628 went there.
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    But be rest assured................. now that it's gone to ground, there's a cynics possibility that it might turn up again as a clone - together with a good story about why it was obliterated from the register!

    Interesting that some went to Abu Dhabi - I knew there were some Hong Kong ones but that's fairly exotic.

    Re cloning - I think enforcers are like 4ts in this respect - in general any fakery or major changes/rebuilds do have some tell tale signs.

    ROF Leeds, or at least that is what it says in the list that Simon had access to. Some of the details are illegible, though, such as the 'extract' & 'AIN' headings.

    Don't ask me how.....I promised someone a long time ago that I wouldn't kiss & tell......

    Simon's doing OK, I hope!

    He's been mighty quiet lately. But he did log on several days ago.

    I haven't seen or heard anything of Simon since the motorbike museum arms fair over here about a month ago, but he's fine so far as I know. He's been very busy refurbishing a house, although I think it's done now, so perhaps we'll 'see' a bit more of him again.....

    Yep I'm back. As Roger says I've been some what preoccupied for the last twelve month but hopefully things will settle down now.

    Cheers,

    Simon.
