Does Iran possess any of military surplus military arms we might want?

I know Iran has a lot of old M48 tanks, but I do not think Iran has any Enfields.

I could be wrong.

Iran had some very nice "Persian" Mausers; a batch was sold in the UK about twenty years ago and that's another regret of mine!

Edited to add image.

im kinda thinkingyour right - in the past iran lied to our faces , hid stuff from inspectors and went right along doing what they said they wouldnt , i dont believe them outright , i dont trust them at all , i suspect they think they are playing trump like they have ebveryone before him , i think thats a really bad choice 

had to come back and add that i believe it will be a fatal miscalculation

As far as surplus military rifles is concerned, pretty hard to say as arms are traded amongst the countries that need them. Especially in that region of the world.

Paddy, an Iranian marked 1911A1 would be highly collectible, along with the CZ75's and BHP's they used.  
Hopefully they might come on the market after the he!!-otollah and his minions are overthrown by the Iranian people...with our help.
