    PDF list of Enfield Enforcer serial numbers

    With a little spare time, I collated the information on the Enforcers from the sticky above into PDF format. At some point I will get it arranged by serial number, low to high. Here is what I have so far. I hope that it will help aid others interested in the Enforcers. BTW, many thanks to Simon, without who's help we would not have this information.

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Rather than Police departments, they are Constabularies. I note non have been noted for Lancashire and 2 for Cumberland, the first having no date but the second on 08/74 which is odd as Cumberland and Westmorland had become Cumbria in that year. I also asked my father if he remembered them or what happened to them but he only remembers having rifles donated by the general public. His good friend from the force was issued with SMLEs and Enfield/Webley .38s.

    One for sale at them moment, I've mentioned it on the forum before.

    .22 Enfield Enforcer. Serial number 727. (back from proof)
    This unusual Enfield Enforcer action based rifle has a pupose built .22 Enfield barrel and bolt fitted, with military marks on the barrel and action and a new current Birmingham proof.

    The .22 barrel and bolt is unique to this action and is not seen on other converted .22 Enfield No4 rifles.

    The side of the action has the usual marks " Enforcer 7.62m/m 727

    D/E (together) 80 PAT.APP.FOR"

    It is fitted with target sights PH 5E4 and a Pecar scope.

    This rifle could be converted back to 7.62 with the correct bolt and barrel.

    ---------- Post added at 08:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

    This ones sold

    Enfield Enforcer 7.62mm Police Sniper Rifle, Patent no 73. This is serial number 008 with matching bolt. Around 767 of these rifles were ever made. As many as 50% or more have now been destroyed. Police forces often preferring to do this rather than sell them off. This particular rifle was issued to a division of the Metropolitan Police and is marked 19T on both rifle and bolt. It is quite plausible, that this actual rifle was deployed during the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege. The rifle is also broad arrow marked, this indicates that this early example was made using military parts. A very interesting and collectable rifle, worthy of some further research. It is live an requires a firearms certificate with the correct variation to purchase.

    I've currently got:

    332
    394
    409
    493

    I've had about 10 others, but don't have my records with me. I also have numbered woodwork parts in the 2xx range from about 5 rifles in the guillotined D&C batch - aka "phoenix Enforcers"....

    I know that the D&C stated on inquiry that they had destroyed all their Enforcers, but the documentation provided only states a few by serial number. So, with the "phoneix Enforcers" term......are you stating hat ALL D&C Enforcers are made up rifles, or only the ones in the 2xx batch or?

    I admit I do have a dog in this fight, as I own #665, and it has scope #537 on it, rifle and scope noted as coming from D&C, but two different shipping dates. Without looking at a specific Enforcer in hand, how can you tell if it has been rebuilt from the ashes of a destroyed rifle, or never destroyed, but a complete rifle that a Police service sold off in the past, but now, in the current climate in Englandicon regarding firearms, that same Police service would rather say the rifles were destroyed rather than admit sold to the public? (How's that for a run on sentence?)

    Changed the date on one to the correct date, I mistyped one.

    Britplumber, regarding Constabularies rather than Police Departments, I am sure you are correct. Once again, the differences in the US/English use of our somewhat "common" language!

    Perhaps Mr tlvaughn could also post the info as listed by date delivered, I believe that would be interesting as well.
