Enfield markings

[Peter Laidler]

Do I remember seeing adverts for these sporters that showed two versions. The deluxe version with the bog standard foresight block (with or without the foresight protector) and a super de-luxe version with a ramp foresight? Or am I getting them confused with something else?
