    Help with civilian manufactured Enfields

    Greetings All,
    I need some help. Did RSAF Enfield make any rifles for civilian consumption besides the Envoy and Enforcer rifles? Specifically, not military rifles that were converted but rather pieces that were manufactured for civilian (ie sporting or target) use.

    PLEASE let me know.

    Best Regards,
    Michael

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    No, RSAF was a government factory dedicated to government projects. The Envoy was the only limited attempt at a civilian commercial product, whilst the Enforcer was a quasi-government project in that the rifles were intended for Police use.

    RSAF was in no position to compete with the civilian gun trade, which obviously were able to churn out high-quality sporting goods based on cheap surplus rifles.
