    FYI: I think the Entreprise receivers were built using the Australianicon pattern. The lightening cut is present under the carry handle on the right hand side. They had ups and downs with quality control over the years but I was lucky that the receiver I got was very early and has never given me any problems. I Parkerized it to match and the finish matched the CAL original finish present on the TMH and other parts exactly. Some would mill off the left side markings and engrave the correct ones which I never bothered to do. The right side manufacturer and serial number markings can't be altered anyhow so it is what it is. I used all early milled parts like the magazine catch and body lock lever. I have the later fabricated parts but just thought the milled ones to be better looking.

    I remember being at CS Military in Canadaicon in the 90's and they had a rack full of the late issue OPP rifles available. All 8L series rifles in new condition. Beautiful they were. I'd guess most of them have been deactivated by now since they are classed as prohibs in Canada. I'm just happy to have my home built example that shoots extremely well. I have a C1 sniper scope for it too.

    You'd probably find the vast majority are still in private hands, grandfathered to those people. They just can't leave the house to shoot...some HAVE been done in though, nature of the beast.
