Found this Old Girl. UK Deact with no moving parts but at least she still exists.
You don't see many in any condition...
Sad, but at least it survives…
I take it you rescued it for posterity?
Yes mate. All safe and sound.
Good drills that man 👍
Good save,I would love to have her in the collection, an exceptionally rare find.
Not the original handguards I'm guessing?
Three slot I think?
Did you find it already in the US?
Here's mine. It did time at Radway Green until it cracked the Body and then it was returned to Enfield.Quote:

Yours has been fitted with L1A1 handguards and also the X8E5 Cocking Handle. Nice to see such an early serial numbered rifle.
Nice Kev!
Lovely rifle, these early examples are rather rare finds.

The one I picked up was converted to a L38 drill rifle original serial number 170
Rarer than hens teeth and we have already identified 3 in the Milsurp community….impressive
An X8E5 that's been converted into a L26A1 Sectionlised Rifle

It seems it's up for sale again John, now's your chance. Deep pockets needed though!Quote:

Wow...almost 7000GBP. Deep pockets indeed.
Holly crap, that's too deep for my pockets, especially at a rather butchered spec.
No bolt, gas tube, butchered trigger group...
I would love to add her to the collection, but not at that price, way too steep if it was half that...
Do you think it's included in the "end of year sale" or is that the sale price?
