Good looking example, looks like the hand guard might be an original which is a big plus :thup:
Very nice looking rifle - mwell done
Beautiful!
Got some more pictures of the NZ carbine, Serial No 37. Probably lowest serial number known to exist as the research shows the serial number range started at No40 and anything below may be Trial Versions.

Beautiful! I'd love to have one of those in the safe. Thanks for the great photos.

Very nice.:thup:
Nice one!
I don't recognise some of the markings on the left hand reinforce above the proof marks and below the double arrowheads. Wot are those?
I believe they are commercial nitro proof done June 1971 (671)Quote:

here are a few images of my NZ carbine. It is much later down the line, Serial No 1292. The receiver appears to be a reused one which leads me to wonder if Enfield were struggling to find enough to complete the contract. I see that there is another carbine currently advertised for sale with a higher serial number than mine that also has a double dated receiver. Another point of note is that most of the NZ carbines around seem to be DP marked.Attachment 59269Attachment 59270
