Hi Simon, I hope you had a good Christmas given the current circumstances, I need some help with an Enforcer, it is serial number 703 and it shows a build date of 1980. If genuine it must be towards the end of the production run. Was this rifle ever issued and if so who ended up with it?
The last question is could it have been converted to .22 during its Police service life as that is the configuration it is in now. It is complete with its Pecar Berlin scope, Bipod and 5E4 sight but the barrel has been changed for a No4 barrel which still retains its bayonet lugs, I must admit that the thought of a Police marksman making a bayonet charge did make me smile.
We both know that strange Enfields do crop up from time to time but I can't find any reference to a .22 conversion for the Enforcer, it does seem a strange thing to do even for training purposes as it is now only a single shot and as a bunnie basher it would be some what over the top. Any information would be greatly appreciated, it's what makes all this collecting lark worth while. Take care all the very best. Paul

Hi Paul,
In Steve's absence I can tell you that Enforcer serila number 703 has NO allocation listed on the official lists so I can't help you I'm afraid and you appear to have more info that is recorded.
I can tell you the last entry of rifle 697 went to Thailand, then nothing recorded until 712 again sent to Thailand, so in short the gap of 14 is blank, hope that makes sense.
