Hello to all,

Here is a .22 LR Lee-Enfield trainer I bought last week.



If my interpretation of its markings is correct, this rifle was built at ROF Fazakerley in 1951 and FTR'ed in Enfield Lock in 1966.




The rear sight leaf was fitted with an A. J. Parker 8/53 sight attachment and its battle aperture ground off.




I would have a couple of questions for you about this rifle:

- was it common for .22 LR Enfield trainers to undergo FTRs?
- does the fact that the ejector screw is absent from this n° 4 receiver show that it was never actually used on a Lee-Enfield service rifle during WW2?

Thank you in advance for your replies!

Didier
