Stupid Question

[Alan de Enfield]

besides he said a Longbranch.

My post was as much in response to the posts suggesting that 'sporterised' rifles were not made by the factories as to answer the OPs statement that 'all sporterised are after market then ?'

I cited the example of the Enfield built Enforcer using a 'used' Longbranch body as an example only.

But of course you are correct about the 'black-tip' on the forend.

Parker Hale made a range with features similar to the OPs description, and many certainly went across the pond.
