Save the .22 Lee Enfield No. 8s

I find it rather funny how many "I'll take it" comments are rolling in here without any mention of a dollar value. Are there really that many people out there who'd commit to buying a gun sight-unseen for an unknown price...? Apparently :sok2
 
Just get yourself a ruger 10/22

I think the assumption would be that they will be cheap, seeing as it's a "does anyone want these or do we have to pay someone to shred them?"
 
I find it funny nobody went and watched the video that's why this thread exists, these aren't for civilian sale, this is a plead to industry members with contacts, if the OP is who I think it is, I brought this up on the CCFR Facebook page and they posted here like they said they would. The UK govt will only sell to govt entities, the CMP in the US is the main one comes to mind. It I was unaware of any Canadian method of recovering them and if anyone knew I figured wolverine would know. This wasn't about getting them for sale up here it was about saving them regardless of who the end user was from having history destroyed.
 
Man, too bad these will likely be scrapped. I learned how to shoot with an old No. 7 in Army Cadets.
 
The CMP already came back and said they cannot import them as they are not US Army property and that is their only mandate - sell US surplus for their marksmanship program.

Unfortunately much like canada they will be smelted as for mentioned fears of being used to commit a crime as well as devaluing the surplus market. Imagine your 8 to 9 hundred dollar rifle falls for $250 overnight because it went from rare to just another No8 on the market.

Although I would also take a couple in aheart beat....
