Enfield Envoy

[FlightRN]

Greetings All,
Below are pictures of two Envoys in my collection.

The first is a early Envoy with a serial number of E10. It is fitted with a Parker Hale 5D rear and PH Matchmaker front sight. The finish on this one is almost a satin oil(?) type finish. I wonder if this is the wood finish that was applied to the early rifles? Additionally, there is a hand stop rail attached to the fore end but the serial number was not milled out of the wood.





My second one is serial number E329 and marked PALMA MATCH BISLEY 1970 and proofed at both 19T and 20T. It is stamped REGULATED BY FULTON on the receiver ring and has a PH5C rear sight with a John Wilkes front globe sight. The finish is a glossy yellow birch unlike the earlier one. It's a nice piece with an interesting history. One of our members was kind enough to inform me who bought the rifle after the competition, and I contacted the Bisley NRA museum with that information. Unfortunately, that person's name was not on the 1970 match team roster So unless I can find out some other way, I will never find out who shot it originally





Best Always,
Michael
