How many Enfields still in shooting condition

[SAMK4]

Hi folks, I was wondering of the original number of Enfield Rifles produced, how many are still in shooting condition. I realize that this can't be answered definitively but it's something I've thought about for a while. I'm guessing 35%.

Educated guesses welcome

Someone placed the original manufacture at something around 4 milliion plus. Thirty-five percent is likely a good guess, but, honestly, probably a little high. Not just being contradictory, but these things got the bejeezus beat out of them.

IIRC that is the number for No.4s alone.

Even with the UK draconian firearms laws - managed to amass 8 (It was 10 so now just have two slots left to fill)

Now we know how many Enfields it takes to fill the Albert Hall?

Wow!! Two pages right off the bat :

[BushyFromOz]

even at 35% of 4 million, its a wonder some of the prices being sought after for bog standard enfields... are they really worth this much? Or is Aus a special case because of the niche market?

[Alan de Enfield]

16,000,000 (16 million) manufactured from No1 Mk3 thru to No4 Mk2, No5 etc.

[BushyFromOz]

i thought he meant 4 million remaining of 16 million produced?
