Save the .22 Lee Enfield No. 8s

[YKBrute]

Hey Wolverine 303,

Saw this video on YouTube. Apparently the MOD in the UK are liquidating Lee Enfield cadet rifles. If a buyer isn’t found, they’re going to the shredder. IMHO these would sell in Canada... I’d buy one. Any way you could bring these to Canada? https://youtu.be/Yd5aegj-6qo

OMG!! Yes, save them! I have a gorgeous one and they are so nice!! If the price was right, I'd buy another to help save them!!

The video link shares a freedom of information request that was put in about these in the UK. The short and long of it is that the UK Ministry of Defence does not sell surplus small arms to the commercial sector, only to other governments. So unless you can convince the Canadian government to buy them, it seems unlikely. The US, however might be another story if you could get them in through CMP.

He says in the video and its written right there in the letter that the Ministry of Defense does not sell surplus firearms in the commercial marketplace.

Bruh, I was gonna spend money on more glass and PRS goodies but I’d definitely want one of these.

 

[BabySeal]

Canadian cadet units might want some.

 

[Chargerguy]

Yes please

 

[NedwardFlanders]

I would love to have one of these.

 

[Steiner]

Wow...the end of surplus firearms...even a bolt action 22lr is forbidden to pass on to civilians.

Seen Mike's video shortly after he posted it. Brough back memories of no7 trainers we used in the air cadets. Even spent some time as a rifle coach during my time with the cadets. Be a shame if these get destroyed.

 

[Divermike]

Perhaps a hillbilly municipal gov. could buy them and sell for profit through the local gun store.

 

[Cedricb]

I'd be interested in 1 crate

 

[mwmwmwmwmmdw]

you can own these in the UK, why wouldent their domestic market buy them?

 

[MountedMadness]

I'll take 10...PLEASE
