Just wondering how many of you guys know about this modified Lee Enfield. I saw one at the museum after I first learned of its existence. This one is for sale - it wont be cheap! There was also a semi-automatic SMLE which I only just found out.

Pretty cool!
These were developed in New Zealand due to a shortage of light machine guns.
I think there is one for sale at the Oct auction.

We had one in our little instructional museum *** training wing at the Ordnance Depot in Ngaruawahia. It's probably at Waiouru now
Why has something been starred out? I think I originally said .......museum *** training wing....' Let's see again.....
Yep, done it again. How do I say 'com' but spelled with a U instead of an O. But you get my drift! OK then, I'll accept defeat and say '.....museum/training wing'. Is that better?
How would you have liked to ben maintaining those Peter...? Looks like they'd be fun.
I did have a good look at ours but Frank Skelly told me that there were many (?) variants. Mechanically, it looked like a right dogs breakfast. Mind you, I had been brought up on Brens
Or in this case...an Aboriginie's breakfast...(widgety grubs and a bottle of turpentine)Quote:

Kiwi-made MP38?
Tell us more!
And what is the story behind the sad remains of the F88 / AUG under the Kiwi Charlton? Ditto the "cooked" looking Minimi receiver.
Re the photo too...... I have seen a couple of those L1A1's with a pistol grip screwed through the bottom of the handguards. Someone tell me that it's not just a screw....., please! There MUST be more to it than that. The first round and recoil moments would surely just tear the grip away
NZ SAS L1A1 Peter.
The damaged weapons are not allowed to be discussed sorry.
I will post another photo that shows the discription below the MP38 when i get home after work.
