Anyone intrested in the Enfield No2 revolver

[Claven2]

Very Nice pieces, one and all. Now I have a jones to go find one. How available is the ammo for these fine British pistols?

Can't speak for everywhere, but .38 S&W is pretty available here in Canada and while point of aim is a little different, it works perfectly. Real .38/200 is a bit tougher to find, primarily surplus. If you reload, there are lots of moulds out there and the .38S&W brass is identical in all ways that matter to the military brass.

As much as I feel like bubba for saying so, I do wish someone would find a hidden store room full of MkI hammers so that some of the dirt-common and very inexpensive I* pistols we have in Canada could be more shootable. Completely reversible mod though, so not bubba exactly...

I don't mind the Mk.I*actions, really, as they're smooth and not TOO heavy. Wouldn't mind doing a Steel Challenge match or two with the little beastie, just for giggles. That said, Reserve a spurred hammer for me, too! Just to try it.

Just Picked Mine Up Today. A real lightly used 1943 DI star star marked one. Any one have any info on the Star Star? Its not **, they are actually stars. This one has no import or FTR marks on it. I would rate it at 90%. The bore is bright, no pitting, and some really fine rifling in it. Have to find My camera cord and then will post pics.

I reload 38 S&W using 180 grain 0.360 diameter heads made for me by a local bullet caster. Can match the 380/200 up to 10 metres. Work beautifully in Enfield Mk 1, I* and 1**; Webley Mk IV 0.380s and S&W Model 11s or their pre and Victory versions. Work nicely in 7 metre competitions as well, using a Model 10 speed loader, can eject and reload rather rapidly. Dave_n

Picked one up and sold one. Picked up a wooden gripped 1941 No2 Mk1*. Nice piece and one heck of a deal. $300 for the pistol and 771(yes 771) rounds of Remington .38 S&W, that is Israeli Army/Police Marked. Great deal on a fine piece. Might try and post photos later. Still cleaning and loving on it a bit...
