More Enfields at war in 2012, just now retiring

[RJW NZ]

Todays story on AOL about rebels in Indias north east surrendering their arms for the first time in 30 years, and in this pic I counted 7 enfield before I lost count. Good to see, on all counts,

Arms are displayed during a surrender ceremony in Guahati, India, Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2012. Hundreds of rebels in jungle fatigues lined up to surrender their weapons after nine insurgent groups reached cease-fire deals on Tuesday to begin peace talks toward ending a three-decade insurgency in northeast India.

Are they just getting rid of their old obsolete stuff. Not many AK's, RPD's or RPK's that I can see. But I'll have the butt-less Sterling if you don't mind. And a nice early double dovetail Bren for someone

Unfortunately none of these arms will probably ever see their way to the civilian market.

I imagine they're pretty trashed by now. India is not known for it's cool dry climate and gentle treatment of tools of war.

Bonny is a member of the gunboards forum, from India and has a thread called Ishy action Indian style.
This is now in two parts, it became to unmanagable as one and is a sequence of photo's of Lee Enfields in service in India and surrounding regions.
I would have thought you would know me well enough by now, Roger, most of it's all tongue in cheek.
