Service for L42A1, Enforcer, Envoy and L39A1 Owners.

All the respective parts would have been sold to a Section 5 dealer and therefore built to the same standard such as Charnwood IMHO!

I have owned several rifles built by Charnwood, I have a 7.62 "No5" built by them at the moment and they always seem to add their own serial numbers to the guns they have built, as the Enforcer in question does not carry any of their markings I can only assume it was not them who put together this .22 version.

[Buccaneer]

I understand that the 'Barbican Armoury' in Durham also had a quantity of Enforcer actions, barrels, woodwork etc. I believe these may be the people that made the .22LR versions

I can confirm that it was in fact the Barbican Armoury that built this particular rifle. There were two rifles made up with .22 Enfield No4 barrels back in the 90's, they were assembled from the surplus Enforcer actions that had been sold off to the trade when the contract came to an end, effectively they had been sold for "Scrap" as they were no longer needed and nobody wanted them. It sounds rather like the No4T's that could be bought for £30 complete because nobody wanted them, don't you wish we could travel through time.???

Hi Gil / Simon, I have recently picked up a couple of L39's serial numbers A529 & A509, if possible can you give me any further information on them. Many thanks, Paul.

Hi Gil,

Just thought I'd pop in and let you know you're doing a Sterling job here. I still lurk occasionally but just never seem to have as much time as I'd like. Brief bit of downtime before it's off again at the start of May.

Cheers,

Simon.

Simon,
No worries mate, as long as I don't get struck down by a thunderbolt I'll try and help out. Stay Safe

Hi, I've been interested in owning an enforcer for awhile now, didn't realise the prices🤯 Ive seen two for sale recently, first one is number 159, the second from what I can see the picture looks 756.
Also on speaking to another person he has 213 but knows nothing about it, said he bought 213 from York guns years ago. Any info appreciated

[Gil Boyd]

Enforcer Rifle Serial number 159 was sold to Glasgow Police Firearms Unit on the 8th March 1974

Enforcer Rifle Serial Number 756 has no recorded information on the lists, however, either side of that number were sold to Bangkok Police in Thailand on the 26th January 1983.

Enforcer Rifle Serial Number 213 was sold to South Wales Polce Firearms Unit on the 26th April 1974
