I am very happy!

It is difficult to find ammunition, because it can not be imported because the price is double that in the US, to give an example. To this we must add that the exchange rate of our Peso is high compared to the multiple devaluations suffered. Many shooters reload ammunition and for that we must obtain a permit and the amounts that can be recharged very small.

I hope the luck with me and I can continue to incorporate other Enfields models !
It has been a great fortune to get this number four and I'm very happy about that!

After September 11, the world has hardened weapons in their policies and you know very well.
We can not collect and semiatomaticas automatic weapons without proper deactivation. (It is hard for me to explain the extent and Deactivation mode). So many airsoft guns used to show military vehicles in our collection.

Sounds like you've done very well to find such a nice No. 4 then!

Any ideas how it came to Argentina?

Luis, as you, along with many of us, contract Enfielditis, here’s what you will experience for symptoms: ,,,,,

If only these rifles could speak -- like Gordon Lightfoot wrote: "If I could read your mind love, what a tale your thoughts could tell......." but alas I dream...... the quest, the quest .... like Don Quixote's impossible dream.

Dear Seaspriter
I agree with everything you wrote!
Thank you for taking the trouble to write what I also think like you.
It would have been very difficult to translate into your language.
Behind every Lee Enfield and others weapons, there are stories from manufacturing until use in the battlefield!
Best regards!

Yes Colonel Enfield!

Listen to these Lee Enfields were brought by Interarms from southafrica, but I can not be sure at 100%!

If you plan to go to a show to peruse the 303 type you wish to acquire you must leave the other 303 home.

That would make some sense - given the somewhat, shall we say, strained relationship betwen the UK and Argentina in recent decades, I can't imagine anyone in the UK selling commercial quantities of old rifles to Argentina. But South Africa makes a lot more sense - I can definitely see them offloading surplus British rifles to anyone civilised with the money to pay for it.

Hi Fellows

Today, after two months of waiting, I got the legal possession of the LE.

Here a pic with other british airsoft gun collection.



The guns like the Sten are Ilegal in my country.

Now begins the search of a Browning HP pistol and Webley revolver!

Regards

Congratulations, Luis.

[Bruce_in_Oz]

Yes.

You buy one.

And then another to keep it company.

Keep them warmly housed in a nice safe place.

Then, mysteriously, very soon, you need a bigger safe / gun room.

Funny how that works.

[Colonel Enfield]

Congratulations! Enjoy your new acquistion and make sure you look after it!
