    Enfield Restoration Guidelines

    Excellent Point. The issue of what happens to the gun three generations from now is very important, and we cannot predict what happens to our data bases 75 years from now.

    The ethical collector should stamp into the Reproduction Parts 'REPRO 20XX (date)".

    I started to write a more detailed response to this post, but when I got to 5 pages in length, I decided to share the thoughts on Enfield Restoration Guidelines via a separate link: Dropbox - Laws Principles of Restoration V1.0.pdf
    Any other expert opinions on my Guidelines are always welcome.

    Best wishes for the New Year, Robert
