    I have owned several rifles built by Charnwood, I have a 7.62 "No5" built by them at the moment and they always seem to add their own serial numbers to the guns they have built, as the Enforcer in question does not carry any of their markings I can only assume it was not them who put together this .22 version.

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I can confirm that it was in fact the Barbican Armoury that built this particular rifle. There were two rifles made up with .22 Enfield No4 barrels back in the 90's, they were assembled from the surplus Enforcer actions that had been sold off to the trade when the contract came to an end, effectively they had been sold for "Scrap" as they were no longer needed and nobody wanted them. It sounds rather like the No4T's that could be bought for £30 complete because nobody wanted them, don't you wish we could travel through time.???

    Hi Gil / Simon, I have recently picked up a couple of L39's serial numbers A529 & A509, if possible can you give me any further information on them. Many thanks, Paul.

    Paul,

    L39A1 Rifle Serial number 509 in 7.62mm went to Donnington on the 13th November 1970 batch number 68/685.

    L38A1 Rifle Serial number 529 in 7.62mm went to Donnington on the 13th November 1970 also batch 68/685.

    Thats all that is recorded, hope it helps.
    Gil

    Mike,
    The only thing recorded for that rifle is it went to Donnington on the 27th February 1970 as part of batch 68/685 - 444015/8

    Hi Gil,

    Just thought I'd pop in and let you know you're doing a Sterling job here. I still lurk occasionally but just never seem to have as much time as I'd like. Brief bit of downtime before it's off again at the start of May.

    Cheers,

    Simon.

    Simon,
    No worries mate, as long as I don't get struck down by a thunderbolt I'll try and help out. Stay Safe

    Hi, I've been interested in owning an enforcer for awhile now, didn't realise the prices🤯 Ive seen two for sale recently, first one is number 159, the second from what I can see the picture looks 756.
    Also on speaking to another person he has 213 but knows nothing about it, said he bought 213 from York guns years ago. Any info appreciated

    Enforcer Rifle Serial number 159 was sold to Glasgow Police Firearms Unit on the 8th March 1974

    Enforcer Rifle Serial Number 756 has no recorded information on the lists, however, either side of that number were sold to Bangkok Police in Thailand on the 26th January 1983.

    Enforcer Rifle Serial Number 213 was sold to South Wales Polce Firearms Unit on the 26th April 1974
