L59A1 DP Rifle (by Peter Laidler)

[Alan de Enfield]

Apart from TLVauaghn, has anyone actually got one of these L59A1 beasts? I know the Brian from BDL has an original one. Were they available in the US? And what is their lawful/legal status in the USA. Status in Australia, Canada and NZ. I'd like this information plus any other Q's and A's to use should the matter escalate to push and shove here in the UK.

Does anyone know if anyone has been seriously, or even not seriously killed or injured after being shot with one? That was just a joke............

I have seen them (occasionally) on Gunbroker, and the seller stated that as they were a 'receiver' they could only be shipped to an FFL or C&R - I presume that means that they are still classed as a 'gun' in the USA ?
