One type of Enfield we can never own...

Actually John the Jawa's gun was an original mashup. It was a cut down SMLE with assorted props on it.

One of my favourite mashups for sure!
I like Boba Fett's gun too, based on a Webley scott No1Mk1 flare deployment gun. A good number of guns from star wars were based on british designs.
The great utilitarian niceness!

with my luck id get some moronic firearms inspector who would think that by altering it into a Jawa blaster i was trying to reactivate it, lol.

where can you get cheap dewatt enfields? ive never owned a dewatt, are they cheaper than non-dewatts or more expensive because ordinary folk with no PAL can own one and hence are more 'collectible'?

You have blasphemed, good sir, I demand you take that back at once! :mad:
 
Just kidding! :D But how about if that cup thing was a solid steel barrel jacket with the inside diameter same as od of barrel(turned down paralell), just keep it live, the barrel length would be about 6 inches, if he has an r pal, , did not try to sell it, registered it as a restricted he would have one crazy assed .303 pistol? Although if you considered the lack of usefulness of such a gun, you might as well rig up a dewat to look like the jawa gun.

It wouldn't surprise me to find out that some (maybe one) of our American members owned one. How about it John????
 
half the chamber is missing from that Jawa Enfield :)
if you touched one off in that you would probably die, lol.

i really do want to make a Jawa Enfield now...
the cool thing is i can use one even with a damaged stock, crown, horribly pitted barrel, etc. id try with a cheap $100 enfield but when i took it in to be dewatted and my gunsmith saw what i did, he would probably shoot me on the spot - unless he were a Star Wars fan.

Strictly ILLEGAL south of the border as are the cut dowm SMLE's used as firing devices for WW1 mortars.

While the one pictured may have been made as a movie prop, it looks like the real smoke discharger.

At homegunsmithdot com they were trying to put together a cadre to find out what the specs were on the Welrod. For what purpose; I'll never know.:evil: It must still be classified information, I would say that's hinting that the piece is still in use in the special forces community.:confused:

It's not classified information, you just have to have the right contacts and ask nicely ;) .

With newer more efficient designs in supressed firearms it's unlikely that the Welrod is still in service.


The De Lisle replica made by Valkyrie is one of the worst copies out there and not worth what they were charging.


Here is another Enfield that most will never have (and my next project)

The welrod is still in operational use in the UK and with others. Also, you will notice that there are no dimensions on the print late....

That picture is just of the Welrod general arrangement drawing, I also have the measured drawings for the MkII and MkIIA.

The general arangement drawings are to scale and a faithfull reproduction can be constructed just using them, having the full measured drawings just makes the process a little easier.
