    So going by what Peter says, my rifle which recieved a direct hit on the action whilst being carried across LCpl Nige Eyers back on the battle of Tumbledon mountain where he received his injury whilst he had an SMG in the attack, was repaired with bits at Enfield and brought back on line to fill shortfalls after the Falklands War?

    Thanks for all the L42 feedback guys, as always it takes us off down the Enfield rabbit Warren to other fascinating lessor known areas of breed.
