Indian 'Special' Enfield ?

[Alan de Enfield]

Any ideas ?

The picture caption is :

An Indian policeman aims his gun towards Kashmiri stone and brick throwing protesters during an anti-India protest on the outskirts of Srinagar August 23, 2010. The two-month-old protests, the angriest since a separatist revolt against New Delhi broke out in Kashmir in 1989, have so far killed 62 people and been blamed on Indian security forces. The latest violence started with the death of a teenage student hit by a tear gas shell in early June.

Seeing as this guy also has a AK varient over his other shoulder, I'm guessing it has some sort of CS or baton round (rubber bullet) adapter fitted.

I'd guess baton rounds of some sort.

No matter what it is I would like to have one to keep my other Lee Enfields company.

I saw a similar rifle in 1969, it was a gas cylinder launcher and launched the cylinder with blanks. The cylinder fit over the barrel and was about 3 inches in diameter and around 10 inches long. It was also used to propel smoke cannisters.
I never used it but did see it used to propel smoke cannisters. Looked very similar. Only a few slight differences.

Enfield303T, pick up a grungey RFI sporter and make one. That one certainly looks like a make up.

I built one similar for a fellow that was training bird dogs to get used to the report of a firearm and fetch birds. He launched feathered balls of yarn from a cup screwed to the end of the barrel. Worked very well.
