[Alan de Enfield]

a) Pecar 4-10 Scope Nice condition (not perfect) Clear Optics, No rings £276.00

b) 7.62 based on a No4 action (serial UF55A31477) , heavy snakeskin barrel, Enforcer type woodwork (but very chunky) £65.00

c) as b above (serial AU18080) but no magazine £60.00

d) .22rf BSA War Office Miniature £65.00

e) .22rf Long Lee Enfield, BSA No9 rearsight Very nice condition -not new looking but not looking 100 years old. Telephone bid won it at £520.00

f) 303 Long Lee - very dissappointed. It looks like a commercial Long Lee, the forearm was very slim Light Walnut and had no provision for the volley / dial sight, there was no cover on the bolt, no date, and the rifling was very strange. The rifling looked very 'coarse' , bright and sharp and a very tight twist - could it be Metford Rifling ? On the Knox form was a "diamond inside a U" what marking is this ? £360.00

g) 30/06 P17 standard spec but no rearsight £36.00

Items B & C would be ideal candidates for building an Enforcer clone - good action and "correct" (or very similar) barrels.

For US $ multiply by 1.5

Found the "diamond inside a U" :

"Sometime after WWII a diamond makes it's appearance within the South African U. It is believed that this mark was used after 31st May, 1961, when the Union of South Africa left the British Commonwealth and became the Republic of South Africa. This mark has been seen on both rifles and oilers".

Strange that a 1900 Long Lee should have a post 1961 South African mark !
