Enforcer range and accuracy

Heck, I'm in the US, and I think they are like hen's teeth (or my other favorite - rocking horse poo) over here, or at least they don't come on the market that often

Yes - I'm in the process of compiling information and documents with a view to writing a book(let) on the Enforcer - the enigmatic rifle with so little known about it, as has been said, this is probably due to only 767 made and 50%+ destroyed there are so few opportunities to study them, let alone own one or two (- except for thunderbox of course who has over 1% of the total production figure and 2% of those thought to survive)

Enforcers were issued in various states of 'completness' which seemed to depend on the budget the local Police authority had left, they were supplied with and without bipods, with and without PH sights and with and without scopes. From information gleaned from Police armourers it seems that when the 'next years' budget came in, that they may have been allowed to buy the 'extras', which is why some Enforcers end up with very strange brands of scopes.

I have received information back from several of the Police Authority Areas (under the Freedom of Information Act) confirming that their rifles were (due to force policy of not allowing civilians to get hold of firearms) guillotined. What a way to die. !!!

Pecar went out of business 18 months / 2 years ago but I heard they'd actually been 'rescued' by another German scope company (Schmidt & Bender ??)

The PH company is also 'long gone' but there is all sorts of info out there, not only documents on the web, but user experience. There is also a company in the UK I know that bought up all the dustbins full of PH sight parts (when PH closed down) they are getting a bit low now but they've never let me down yet.

As stated above, not all Enforcers were fitted with the rear sight ( and those that didnt have it fitted had the 'wrong' type of safety fitted so you couldnt fit the correct rear sight unless you could also find the correct safety. (Rocking Horse Poo again !!)) The correct rear sight is a PH5E/4

Picture shows the modified safety. A normal safety would 'foul' the sight mounting bracket and if the sight was mounted after the safety you could'nt put it into 'safe'. I found all this out when I built my clone and could'nt get 'safe'.
