How many of us have Enfields, and how many?

Stopped counting at 200, about 40 or so British revolvers, PIAT, Vickers, Sten, Lewis, Bren, 2 inch mortar.`
Don't even ask which rifles, it's too damm much work to list them.
 
I have a 1917 BSA No1 MkIII* that was an Ishapore refurb. It belonged to someone on this board, who sold it to Jean @ PS who sold it to me.

And that is the end of my Enfield collection. Sadly, I started collecting too late - long after you could get an Enfield for $100 from Canadian Tire.

I'd love to own a longbranch, but the prices are just way too high!
 
:) Did someone say enfields :D


I have several Including
No1 MkIII - various
No1 MkIII* - various
No3 (P14) ERA and RE
No4 Mk1 - various
No4 Mk1* - various
No4 Mk1/3
No4 Mk1/3 Converted .308 DCRA
No5 Mk1
EAL

now I don't have one of everyting :) (like the masters) but I have a modest start to a collection and I'm always looking for more
 
Just one, a beautiful Long Branch 1945 No. 4 Mk1*. The wood is a flawless, deep red and the metal has virtually all its finish. Lots of great markings on the wood and mysterious serial marks that have been "###X" on the bolt and wrist band. I wish it could talk!

Shoots passably well, sub 2 in. groups at 50 yards, havn't been able to try it at longer ranges yet.
 
I have 2 both No.1 MkIII

Both were chopped up sporters, one belonged to my great-grandfather, I restored it back to original, full wood and bayonet, new barrel, great fun to shoot.

The other one I cleaned up for hunting moose, works great, synthetic ramline stock, bushnell sharpshooter scope, gets quite a few remarks at the range when they realize the gun is close to 100 years old!

Not only have that EAL but also the other version. What made you think I sell them?

Of course I was on the British guns forum. A sad day when that closed. but jouster is just as good.

Have stopped buying Enfields, no more room.:D
 
Oh, by the way, what I have would fit into one corner of Warren Wheatfield's collection and he is NORTH of the border.;)

I think the Pattern Room at Leeds goes to HIM for information!!!
