Enforcer Number 217

**Alan de Enfield** · 06-29-2009 05:48 PM

Has anyone seen or heard of Enforcer 217 ?

It was not sent to a Police Force. It appears that it was sent to a Dr Campbell at E.R.D.E (Waltham Abbey) on 22nd April 1974.
This is several months after the first Enforcers were shipped so it cannot be for development work.
Any ideas ?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Did this become Dr Campell's personal firearm? It might be a case of "it's not what you know, but who you know" that got the good doctor a very desirable rifle. Or; maybe the one they had for trials was already earmarked for issue, so No 217 was issued for "on-going evaluation".

E.O.D. personnel have been known to use the occasional precision projectile dispenser to remotely detonate pesky boom things. Barrett .50" rifles are currently popular for such tasks.
