Now, I know this is just a tease, enfield carbine #003

[RJW NZ]

but I thought you'd like a look.
Enfield carbine serial number 3 on auction..
Sorry, trademe is closed to bidders except NZ and aus, and items like this now fall under cultural heritage and probably won't get an export permit these days. (Actually the cultural heritage applies to all guns over 50 years old.)

Mr303,

Perhaps you could elaborate on what you see?

Thanks

Well for a start it has a Canadian butt on it, which is for a rifle not a carbine.

Thanks! Anything else?

The lower forewood is a thinned down smle one, which explains why it has the sight protector cutouts visible in picture 7 (look at the trigger guard area to see how much it has been thinned)! The magazine is not the correct type, it should not have the catch on the side. And of coarse the obvious one is that the barrel and bolt are not numbered '3' as the receiver is. The NZ stamp is only on the barrel which is not typical on NZ rifles (they are normally stamped NZ on receiver and barrel. The fore sight looks really bad and home made.

It would go well with this one.

Another hashed up rifle, look at the bidders going for it! I guess that there's a sucker born every day.
