Thanks to a good couple of fellow Enfield guys I today have come into possession of a real EAL rifle. I believe this is the civilan version with the flip up rear sight and 10 round magazine, as opposed to the military version with the rear sight mounted on the knox form using a 5 round magazine. The pictures the seller provided are of poor quality so i can't make out the EAL serial#. Paid $450 Canadian dollars plus shipping. I think I made off like a bandit! The seller also has 6 #5/Mk1 jungle carbines for sale but this EAL was the prize I wanted to add to my growing collection of Enfields.

sorry man. i voted for him as did every single other person i know. i never votedbefore that election and i was able too for 12 years.  it wasnt so much becauee we wanted "truedope" in power it was more so to get hitler....oops harper out of power. id take the leader of north korea over harper anyday. they are just as smart as eachother but north korea guy doesnt look like such a knob.

also im not opposed to this whole pot thing, ive smoked 4 joints a day for the last 15 years.( to help with my add and autisum) i grow it myself for my self as to not support criminals. so it makes life easier for me

..so -that's where we put the blame..all you Bluenosers, herring-chockers & bay boys!! This is all YOUR FAULT!

I still don't understand what people hated so much about Harper..@ least he was being reigned -in.
He was putting $$ back into the military, he actually did more for Canada's image on the world stage, than any other P.M. before him.

Tru-dope's father tried to disband the military, entirely. Being as the only "job" this idiot had was a snow-board instructor & a substitute teacher...watch. This clown will do more damage to whats left of this country, than his father did(we're STILL feeling the effects of that! )

& then he starts a push-shove in Parliament a couple days ago...Yep - real mature materiel.

well to say the very least, he was ANTI science, environment, vererans, freedom, privacy,  equal rights, facts and the canadian peoples wants.

and he was pro Israel no matter how many unarmed kids  they shoot in the face with rubber bullets at of range of 30 feet. even america was iffy about suporting that one

the only people that liked him are closed minded religious folks or gun owners that only car about their arms over canada as a whole

and a shoving match..... come on man. far from that. she was in he way and he never ment to. have you never bumped into somone in a crowed area before?

ah, but Parliamentary protocol dictates that you STAY in your zone..you DO NOT barge into the middle isle, & exchange heated words & grab people by the arm.
The Whip that claimed she had to leave - is a non-starter. That was just as bad.
If you can - watch the full clip. He came lookin for a showdown.

U hit it right on the head! CHILDISH. But, I haven't seen this kindsa behaviour since his father was P.M., & told the opposition to "F&C* OFF in the House, no less! (Read: Fuddle-Duddle)

You can bet, this is going to degenerate.
