    It would be great if the records were made public. The information may not exist; may be buried in the archieves or will not be made available under the legistlation your citing.

    Start with one Force and have a face to face meeting. Show them the records you have and give an explaination for the request. I sure they're reasonable folks.

    A M Stevens has a lot of info. have you contacted him. He's been at this a long time and been building a data base. His website is index.htm. I'm certain he'd be willing to share info.

    I've been told by a few folks that between 60 and 70% were destroyed. Early on in the disposal program these were sold to clubs and other Gov't organizations. UKicon Police Forces obsoleted the Enforcer in the mid 1980's to be replaced by the M85.

    If you have an Enforcer (#395) like the one Robert has you're very fortunate. It appears to be genuine. It's missing a few things however he's in the process of acquiring them.

    Great rifle, Enjoy

    Yes - I am fortunate as I currently own two (all complete) Enforcers (134 & 483) but 134 is on its way to a new home in Canadaicon within the next few days.
    Unfortunately 483 doesnt have the correct 70's bipod but other than that they are both 'correct'.
    134 is the one at the rear of the picture.

    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    A bit OT, but did they actually buy sizable quantities of the M85? Are they still being used? I never knew that this platform got much past the "test and evaluation" phase.
