Possibly this might be added to the above thread at some time.

I would like to add to my(our?) knowledge of the No 9 .22 trainer.

The most I have been able to find at present is that within Lee-Enfield Rifle No.9 for the Royal Navy, Ian Skennertons 'The Lee-Enfield' and Dennis Lewis/Robert Washburn's 'Britishicon .22RF Training Rifles'.

In summary:-

Few produced - 3000ish
Produced by 'Parker Hale' of Birmingham
Plus some produced to spec by 'others' - unofficial - few or no details available
'Parkerifled' sleeved barrels - by Alfred G Parker or Parker Hale?

Questions -
How many are left out there? - Fultons told me they might get one a year!
Of those still around - any of the original Royal Navy production?
Do any cadet forces have any?
Did anyone else sleeve barrels - I have one sleeved by A J Parker - I understood that AJ and AG Parker were not necessarily on the best of terms?

A number of other questions but this in the hope of getting a ball rolling.

Answers? Questions?
