N° 8 Mk I trainer fitted with an A. J. Parker 8/53 sight attachment

- was it common for .22 LR Enfield trainers to undergo FTRs?

Most definitely not. I have collected auction sales adverts of (almost) all No.8s offered here in Germany for several years. I have never seen one marked with FTR before. The FTR UE 66 refers to a factory thorough repair at Enfield in the 1960s. See "the Lee Enfield Story" P.442.

BTW. thanks to the FTR, that looks like a "very low mileage" No.8. You were lucky!

I have found on the Internet another No. 8 from the same batch of 1966 Enfield FTR'ed trainers:



This one is serial # A5938; mine is serial # A5685, which leads me to think that they might have been renumbered at Enfield - surely you will know whether there is such a possibility?
