19,000 'Durban Police' Enfields Released Onto The Market

[Alan de Enfield]

How long before we see reports of 'Catastrophic Failures' of an Enfield ?

There does seem to have been a plethora of DP rifles about in the last few weeks this will make the situation even 'worse' for those who dont understand "DP".
It may mean, however, an abundance of 'bits & pieces' for them as want to rebuild a Bubba rifle.

"Listed on the Springfield Sporters home page is 18 to 19 THOUSAND Enfield drill rifles for $500,000.00
Any takers"

Shoot, $25 for an enfield, I'd be in!!!!

It is a little scary that they're being so up front that they're drill rifles, these might be like the ones that came out of the basements in Nepal, seriously fully corroded ...

How big of a pile is 19,000 rifles, in shipping containers? Reckon they're in the US already?

And, last but not least, I wonder what SS are hanging onto in the way of spares and other goodies ....
