Charnwood Ordnance bought up from British Aerospace the remaining incomplete Enforcers, & as might be expected they are those with the highest serial numbers. I just wonder if this was a 'spare' body that someone has decided to complete to their own preferences after the event. DT & I bought a number of incomplete 7.62mm barrelled actions, bodies & sundry other parts from Charnwood, so others may well have done the same.

I suppose this begs the question that if an Enforcer was assembled with all of the correct parts but not during the production run and not issued to a police force would it still be an Enforcer?????

I remember reading or watching a report on the lightweight E Type Jaguar factory built cars that were billed as being the cars that were produced to fill the final slots of an original order that were at the time still outstanding.
One of the classic race circuits had deemed them as ineligible as they were ‘copies’

Paul,
My personal view, as an ex Police Officer would be yes it would, as long as ALL the anticedent parts were intended and marked accordingly by the manufacturer as an Enfield Enforcer originally under that one serial number, to ensure it was recorded legally and correct.
All the respective parts would have been sold to a Section 5 dealer and therefore built to the same standard such as Charnwood IMHO!

I have owned several rifles built by Charnwood, I have a 7.62 "No5" built by them at the moment and they always seem to add their own serial numbers to the guns they have built, as the Enforcer in question does not carry any of their markings I can only assume it was not them who put together this .22 version.
