I'll probably add a No. 4 Mk 1 if I come across a nice one.

Fine looking No.7! To bad that you couldn`t buy rifles in Germany. A dealer over here sells No.4 from the Italian Navy and there are some wonderful pieces in excellent condition for $ 600. Long Branch made with 5 groove barrels.

Congratulations - did you realise you'd got a 'rare' one ?
It took me years to get mine (Serial number BS1892).
UK prices are between US$1500 and $2000. I bet you got a bit better deal in the US ?
Just in case you dont know the history of these training rifles :
Although a No.7 Mk I, the British version is very different from it's Canadian counterpart. This rifle was a conversion of an existing No.4 and is interesting in that a BSA five-round commercial .22 magazine was welded into a SMLE Mk III* magazine to produce the only Enfield .22 repeater. These rifles were a special contract and produced exclusively for the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1948. Total production 2,500.
You are going to struggle to 'trump' a No7 with your next purchase (unless you are looking at an L42, Enforcer or 4T)
Yes, and the prices are the same over here too. I know a guy who sells an No.4 MK2. Can we make a deal al in oregon.....:rolleyes:Quote:

According to the fore-end, this NBo7 is based on a Mk1/2 or 2 body while mine is on a Mk1. Does anyone else have a Mk2 based No7 trainer?
Well looking at the forend, mine (BS1892) is a Mk1 as well - just to be sure - I took the trigger guard off and sure enough, its a Mk1Quote:
