    .
    No disagreement at all.

    The actual Police / Home OfficeEnforcer specification was released into the public domain a couple of years ago - part of which I have detailed below :

    The rifle is a magazine fed, hand operated, bolt action, single shot weapon. High accuracy is obtained by the careful selection of good actions, suitably modified to accept 7.62 mm ammunition, to each of which is breeched a heavy 7.62 mm target barrel. A magazine holding 10 rounds is fitted. The military fore-end is shortened, and a hand guard is provided. On test each rifle must make a satisfactory group of 10 rounds within an area 2.6" x 2.6" at 100 yards, or proportionately at other distances.

    Adaptation for Police Use


    To produce an effective weapon for police use - modification and additions include:

    1. The substitution for the military butt of one of greater length, with a pistol grip and higher comb to suit the telescopic sight. (Fig 10)

    2. The fitting of mounts for a telescope sight. (Fig 14)

    3. The provision of a Pecar telescope sight, with "roll-off" mounts. (Fig 13) 4. The fitting of supplementary iron target sights comprising a model 5e Parker-Hale back sight. (Fig 11) The transverse arm to the latter may be inserted when the telescope is removed, so that iron sights may be used in an emergency, or the rifle can be used, for practice, as a target rifle under NRA rules.


    The Pecar Model V2 - S Telescope is designed as a rugged, high quality sight for hunting rifles. The technical specification is given below, but the tube is of steel, sealed against the ingress of moisture and with coated lenses. Magnification is adjusted by a ring, forward of the eyepiece, from 4X to a maximum of 1OX, the field of view and illumination reducing as the magnification increases. The high power is primarily of value in ensuring positive identification of the target. Covered drums for adjustment of elevation and deflection are Provided, movement being controlled in clicks of 1 minute of angle. The saddle which carries the drums and reticle is removable, and interchangeable units are provided, with sixteen alternative reticle designs.


    Parker Hale did much of the assembly of the rifle - when Enfield received an order from a Police Force, they would raise an order onto PH for whatever version(with / without scope, bipod, and PH5E4 sight) was required.

    The drilled barreled action was despatched to PH along with the assembly order.

    PH then added the furniture (with the butts ordered from a company called SILE of Italyicon), the PH bipod, the PH scope mounts (BA20 & BA21 from memory), the PH scope rings and the Pecar 4-10 scope.

    The completed rifle was then shipped back to Enfield.

    Enfield then entered the rifle, customer details and Invoice/Advice note number into their Sales Ledger and the rifle was despatched. The Police paid Enfield and Enfield paid PH
    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...
