Originally manufactured in 56 rimfire, approximately 18,000 were made for use in the US Civil War. The lockplate is marked “Gallager’s Patent July 17, 1860, manufactured by Richardson & Overman, Philla”.The conversion was made in Liege, Belgium around 1877 to produce an inexpensive 12 gauge shotgun. Barrel is 31 ½ inches. No ejector or extractor were fitted. These were imported and sold through Bannermans in the USA at the turn of the century. This is not an antique under Canadian law. Jan 16, 2010 This rifle was issued to Dyfed & Powys (Wales) Police on 26th February 1974 on advice note number 444151/8. This was one of 10 which this Police force purchased. I'm currently compiling information on Enforcers with a view to writing a book(let) on this much underated rifle. Dec 20, 2012 - With a little spare time, I collated the information on the Enforcers from the sticky above into PDF format. At some point I will get it arranged. Adm8515 usb to lan driver windows 7. You must have a valid PAL to purchase. US clients - this is not an antique in the USA since it is converted to a modern cartridge but we can remove the barrel from this sale which makes it antique for US importation. During WW One the USA helped Britain by manufacturing arms and equipment including this Remington manufactured bayonet Pattern 1913 to fit the British P14 rifle. The two cuts on the wooden grips are to differentiate this bayonet from the similar looking Pattern 1907 (for the SMLE rifle) as they are not interchangeable. Marked 1913 for model with maker Remington in circle. ![]() French Model 1886 Lebel bayonet with cruciform 'epee' blade. WW One, brass handle without quillon. Complete with scabbard in good condition. This bayonet fit the French Model 1886 Lebel Infantry rifle and was used by the French in WWI and affectionately called 'Rosalie' by the French troops after a popular (but bloodthirsty) song of the day by Theodore Botrell. Overall showing significant pitting and corrosion on the exposed parts - muzzle ring, scabbard, but the blade is remarkably clean. Catch does not work. This bayonet has undoubtedly seen use and is properly called a battlefield pickup. British Royal Navy issue sea service pistol Pattern 1842.62 calibre, smoothbore.

Part of the hammer screw head is broken off long ago, but it is original and this does not affect the functioning of the pistol. Overall 11 ½ inches in length.

Who had three different ones to chose from at the time. He is since deceased and I don't know where the others went. Unfortunately, they are not getting cheaper. When they do pop up, they don't last long. I was lucky and purchased mine for 1500 (I think) which was allot at the time. So, if one does become available- don't wait too long. Remember, for this 'community' you can never pay too much, just too soon. Keep asking and follow up any and all leads. Good Luck, Michael. Stupid question.what's an Enforcer? I've heard of the Envoy, but am drawing a blank as far as the Enforcer goes.QUOTE=spinecracker;1225733]This may sound like a silly question, but here goes - Does anyone here, based in the US, have an Enfield Enforcer for sale or know of one for sale. This is to satisfy my curiosity as to my chances of purchasing one already in the US in, say, the next year. Brian Dick has already been extremely helpful on this issue, but I wanted to know if anyone else had heard of any Enforcers being for sale on the US market. If my chances are slim to non-existent, then I will have to look further afield.[/QUOTE]. Look at the following website for a good overview of the Enfield Enforcer Basically, the Enforcer was a police sniper rifle based on the No.4 action but chambered to 7.62x51. As far as I can tell, less than 800 were made and, of the ones sold to police forces, half were destroyed when taken out of service. They are quite rare and highly sought after by Enfield collectors. I hadn't heard of the Enforcer until I stumbled on the website I mentioned above. There are other people on this forum, and on other Enfield forums, that know way more about these rifles than I will ever know (Alan de Enfield is on of them, and he is compiling data for a book on these fine, underrated rifles). Hi spinecracker Sorry don't know what Police force 417 was issued to, maybe Simon can tell us and also re 415 & 420 if he's watching this thread. Mag 420 came from the late Chris Barbers spares, a swap for a brand new Parker Hale Butt pad as fitted to the Enforcer. Chris had acquired a few numbered Enforcer Mags which suggests they came from destroyed rifles.
