Enfield enforcer #189

[bigduke6]

One thing that stands out to me is the two different backing plates on Alan,s and TB,s AJ Parker sight and TB,s looks like there is a faint outline where another one may of been?

On a Engineering point of view, if I was to go to the trouble of using an end mill to remove previous marks etc I would choose the correct one so to remove the marks with one pass, the photo shows it has had two passes with a cutter due to the incorrect size of mill being used.
That tells me that only one size of mill was available at the time, and I very much doubt Enfield had only one end mill ? I would of thought they would of removed the previous marks with one straight pass, with an end mill or a horizontal miller, or grinder.

Superbee mentions a price 18 years ago, I would feel a lot safer or not as suspicious as I would now buying something like an Enforcer, due to the fact not many of us had a PC back then so the information required for the not so honest was not available.

It is odd, given the neat job that was done with the "ovoid" rifles:

Not all Enforcers were supplied with a scope - they would all have the scope mounts 'as standard' but depending on the 'cash left in the budget' they could be purchased with or without the Pecar scope, with or without a bipod, etc, etc. As funds allowed the local Police Force would buy the scope, bipod etc.
Talking with a 'scope repair' expert who was contracted to many of the Police Forces this resulted in some 'odd' (non-Pecar) scopes being used

385 looks to have an AJP4/47 sight fitted whilst TB's 384 has the correct PH5E/4
