Hi,Just picked up an enfield enforcer.

I decided to buy myself a christmas present this year. Well, I do that every year, and its always a rifle. Pistols is a birthday thing.

As some of you know I have a crush on G3's. I have also been looking for a good non-restricted .223 that I can use for service rifle competitions at my range (homestead).

So I bought my first non-milsurp rifle, ever. Looks rather strange next to the g43's and k98k;s and svt40 etc etc. But it will prove a good range gun.





And to make this a milsurp theme, I also bought a g43 magazine pouch. Nothing special.

Very nice ....

Service rifle competitions can be a lot of fun, especially when mixed with 3 gun matches. ~Angel~ and I have AR's and Bushmasters we use for these matches.

I haven't got it home yet, but here is a little milsurp I purchased this month.

It's WW2 vintage, and made in Canada by Otis Elevator. Weighs in at around 5500 lbs, so it will likely get stored in the quonset hut vice the gunroom.

This was the reason I chose to part with my LB no4T, which Cantom can now covet. Sure, they made 3 times as many of these as they did LB snipers, but I still consider this a hard to come by piece.

Now that's awesome ....

Very very cool. I hope you have enough garage space to store it. If you were to tow it to the range, would you have to cover it up somehow, use a trailer etc. to take to range for some "skeet" shooting?

I assume its live, but even if it isnt, its still quite the collector piece.

Garage space won't be too much of a problem. I dragged home a surplus Quonset building from the base here a couple years ago. 3500 square feet to fill, although quite frankly it's starting to get pretty full now.
That was actually one of the reasons why the previous owner sold it to me. After all his hard work restoring it, he couldn't stand to think of it rusting in outdoor storage out east.
I'm not sure what the trailer regulations are here. Towed equipment is not necessarily a trailer, so I might get away with just a single red light on the back. Otherwise, I have seen the howitzer type clamp on light assemblies at the local mil scrapyard....I can adapt those to fit the barrel.

Rob....

It just goes to prove that size matters ....
