Enforcer 005 pics

I was looking for one to buy and an importer in Virginia had two left. He sold the lower priced rifle so I bought the expensive one. Glad I did. It does shoot well with iron sights.

Anyone familiar with the sticker in the last photo?

Dennis,
I know 005 was one of the rifles I inherited when we amalgamated into Cambridgeshire Constabulary from Mid Anglia/Isle of Ely Police and we formed the first recognised Firearms Team.
In those days these amalgamted rifles had very little use as they were brought into our central armoury at Huntingdon, because each of the 6 riflemen had their own allocated Enforcer already all zero'd and settled.
These like 005 were spares.
I am trying to rack my brain as to who the Firearms Dealer was who bought them off us when we moved onwards and upwards to other breeds of rifle. National Policy now is to crush all ex Police weapons so non will hit the open market ever again or so they say.
Sad as many could realise a lot of much needed cash for smaller Forces here in the UK.
It does look absolutely right as the sling is as issued and the cut out on the top wood for the larger scope used by several Forces other than the Pecar.
The 312 stamp on the bottom of the magazine was our Cambridge rifle. Both these rifles arrived into our hands in 1974 when the Team started. I remember that as I had just come out of the Army and I was marked for the 6 man team and was allocated rifle 231, I know who holds that here in the UK, and partly the reason why I specifically remember your rifle number mine was close in a jumble!!
Well done a good find and I am intrigued now as to how it found its way across the pond
Incidently I now hold 320 one of our spare rifles from way back then and she is as true as she was then

Was the importer perhaps JOhn Appleton?

I presume the VA marking on Dennis's rifle added you mean a Virginia trader?
Meant to say Dennis all our rifles had PECAR scopes as issued, so someone has cut that wood to clear the front end of the scope so it sits correctly on the mounts

I believe you are right. He had two rifles for sale, I was pondering whether to buy both or only one. While I pondered, he sold one and I got this rifle. 2007?

That's about right. He passed on soon after. I had 007 from him, set up the same way. Wish it was back in my hands today.

Yes that was one of our spares to from Mid Anglia Force when it amalgamated. All arrived in late 1974 but issued in April time of that year

The London Armoury on the Commercial Rd in East London had quite a few in when they were released I bought two from there, they were Nos 208 & 150, I still have 208 which gets an airing every now & then.

Lovely rifle gunfish - great to see it with the original numbered scope too - very rare to see. Not sure if all were actually numbered to the rifle - I've heard both that all were and not all were from good sources! Wouldn't worry too much re the mismatched mag - at least it's from another enforcer. Seems like they were swopped around a fair bit. The scope's the important one. My Enforcer (301) scope is owned by someone who posted on here - alas they wouldn't sell or swop for another Enforcer scope - but that's their prerogative I suppose. Thanks for posting in any case.

Good Day Gunfish,
I think I was the other person who bought the less expensive Enforcer in 2007 from John Appleton. His shop was in Front Royal, but the import stamp was Fairfax, Va. I remember that he had more than one for sale, but I can't recall that he mentioned the other one was in the transit case. Otherwise, I might have purchased that one :-) Congratulations on a great piece.

I found out from Simon that my Enforcer was originally shipped to the Northern Ireland Royal Ulster Constabulary on 24th March 1977. How long it remained in service with them I don't know. I haven't shot it in years but maybe one day soon.
Best Regards,
Michael
