Simon,

Could you tell me the original force receiving Enforcer 077?

I purchased what appears to be an ex Police Parker Hale M82 which came mounted with the Pecar from 077. I'm wondering if the force retained the Pecar after retiring the Enforcer.

Many thanks

Tony

Tony,

Rifle serial number 077 went to Liverpool Police on the 14th May 1974

Cheers,

Simon.

Thanks Simon,

Does anyone know if the Liverpool rifles made it out on to the market or did they have a date with the chop saw?

Tony,

The honest answer is I don't know.

Maybe Alan de Enfield has some info regarding the Scouse Enforcers?

Alan! it's over to you.

Cheers,

Simon.

Arnold,

Rifle serial number V399641 does not appear on the conversion data I have access to. As I've said previously that does not necessarily mean the weapon in question is a "put together" as a number of genuine L42's have come to light which have no details recorded.

Can I suggest that you place some detailed photo's on the main forum as there is enough expertise available there to be able to accurately comment on its authenticity.

Cheers,

Simon.

Thanks. Will do

Cheers for the confirmation about 476, I needed to know because last year I contacted Staffs police with a 'freedom of information' request concerning 476 and guess what? They had no record that they had ever owned it, they did confirm though, that they still had No. 102 (I think), kept by them for tactical training and that its origonal butt stock had been replaced with one from an L42.

Hello Simon,

I've got a No 4 Mk 2 with hammer forged barrel and the right woodwork, which I have been told is an Enforcer. Not sure if this is correct.

Serial number is: N 2117

Can supply photographs if it will help.

Bought in a gun shop retirement sale as a "Parker Hale" although it doesn't say Parker Hale anywhere on it apart from the PH 5C sights.

Thanks.

Hello Ian,

It sounds like what you have there is a Parker Hale target rifle. If you can post some pics on the main forum there's plenty of folk there who can identify it for you.

There were less than a thousand Enforcers manufactured all within their own serial number block, as such a genuine rifle would have a three digit serial number with an "A" prefix.

Cheers,

Simon.
