Just me I suppose I think it quite sad they ended up like they did there are some nice rifles there the early T is one of them, Question; can a deact be made shootable again legally or once it has been done it cannot be made to fire again.
In West Au deacts must have the following done, Bolt to be fully welded into the action not just tack welded (inside the mag well out of sight), Barrel to be welded into the reinforce (out of sight) and barrel to have slotted holes cut in it underneath along most of its length.
Whilst I was at this chaps place where this butchery was being conducted there was an all matching complete 1916 5MD No 1 MkIII sitting there waiting for its turn at the welder and gas axe as the family wanted it for a wall hanger due to the father passing away that was pretty bad to see that happen.
Most of the firearm laws in countries around the word are male bovine scat. They do nothing except place increasing restrictions on law abiding citizens.
Instead of prioritising better mental heath treatment or stiffer penalties for criminals they choose to ban guns with little effect. Criminals do not obey laws and psychotic people are not known for great decision making.
More lives would be saved if they banned smart phones and Big Macs but that would alienate them to the masses.
Well that was my political rant for the month, Moderators if you feel the need, nuke my post but leave the thread.
I'm just saying that we can't sit and act like the three monkeys much longer.
Don't worry, they don't appear to be real.
The scope brackets are certainly the cheap repros, not sure on the scopes as I'm only veiwing viewing on a small screen.
The "L39" for one seems to be actually be a 1980's 7.62 target rifle rebuild of a No4 mk2.
Such a shame the Enforcer was chopped though, that's the rare rifle among this lot.

They certainly are not cheap!! I like how they lay them in the gravel to take pictures of them.
Very carefully I should think.Quote:

Google the mobile number and you'll get a name.
I'm pretty sure the L39A1 is in fact a No4Mk2 converted with a kit of parts. The receiver markings still have the No4 Mk2 engraving and serial number. A real L39 would have it's donor rifles number milled off and the new I.D. marked on it.
Agreed, it's made up. When you consider that there are only three hundred odd Enforcer's surviving, it's criminal to deactivate one.Quote:
