The L42A1 is on the U.S. Curio and Relics List and therefore importable. The L39A1 is not on the C&R list and isn't importable meaning the small supply that's in country is it.
What would be the current import status for "gunsmith built" Enfield target rifles - i.e. a rifle identical to an L39A1 in all components, but built on a random No4 receiver with original markings? Is there a specific date cut-off, i.e. would a 1945 Mk1 or a 1949 Mk2 be ok, but a 1954 PF- Mk2 not be ok?

They aren't importable. BATFE Imports Branch consider them altered from original military configuration therefore not eligible as a Curio and Relic. Because the bodies are military, they can't be imported as a sporting rifle either. I got turned down flat trying to import some Parker-Hale T4 target rifles three years ago.

Crazy rules Brian ... Hate to mention the upcoming presidential bun fight ... How do you think federal firearms law will change if either candidate win??

There was a L39 on a Canadian site for $3,000.00. Sold in less than a day.
Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

Yep, crazy and somewhat tiring at times. I haven't got a clue how it'll all turn out. The candidates are polar opposites so I reckon we'll find out on Tuesday or Wednesday.

I'm happy to be behind the times with the L39 price; because I've got one already
The huge prices being asked for L42s, however, sadly mean, I'll never own one.
