    But thinking back - it was probably more like the late 60's / early 70's. I was married with kids by 1980

    Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end ..........................

    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...

    Funnily enough, the year before this, a friend of my dad's had been made redundant and was selling stuff hand over fist to tide him over 'til he could find another job, and he asked my dad if I'd be interested in a semi auto Bren for £100. Unfortunately, at that time I only had a shotgun certificate so had to pass on it. I did buy a Russianicon semi-auto 12b shotgun off him though for £40, which I used for years. Probably the best £40 I ever spent.
