    Here's a few links to other threads where Peter and others have discussed the pitfalls of DP and ZF marked rifles ...

    ZF marking on Enfields?

    DP Stock Marks Query

    DP Rifles

    Drill Purpose Rifle L59A1 UK Legal Status

    Please read them all thoroughly before you go and shoot it ...
