Sweet.

I still have  a soft spot for the No 8s.

     My No.8

so far im adding a couple of my US 22s , the top one is an M1903-A4gery [an A3 with weaver 330 scope added that was converted to 22cal with a custom made 16" insert i had fabricated by a machinist friend [and japanese collector of renown ] 

the lower is a springfield NRA 1919 model that was intended to mimick the M1garand rifle 

here are my [from top to bottom ] Cno7 mkI 1945 Longbranch , no2 mkIV* converted from a 1910 BSA mkIII in the early 20s , and  the last but favorite to me is my Cond II converted in 1912 from a Enfield made MLM mkII dated 1892 , 

the last came with the box mag but as converted these did not have that , the empties dropped free rather than being collected in the box mag she!! 

the top one is a 1968 Colt US M16 upper on a DPMS lower fitted with 1968 furniture that sports a 22cal conversion bolt and a copy of the correct scope , i do have a 556 bolt for it too , it is semiauto only [but i would love to have the three round burst - just not the expense of the tax stamp and such]

the bottom is my Cooey Mod 82 canadian trainer made in 1944 , i succeded in finding the rear peep sight that makes it a no4 trainer , it came with the rear ramp sight that makes it a no1 trainer, 

this is the conversion unit i designed and had roy make me for the M1903A3

Includes but not completely in order:

unfortunately for me i doubt I`ll ever own one of these save being gifted one.

Current Canadian pricing is to the moon for these.

A good collector friend of mine was just gifted a  short MkII with the uber rare  Hiscock-Parker https://www.rifleman.org.uk/Enfield_Rifle_RF_Short_Mks_1_and_2.html#anchor4293899196" rel="nofollow -   repeater magazines. Came from an estate collection, some guys have all the luck.

My one & only, a .22 Rimfire sleeved No1MkIII*, fitted with A.G.P. No9W micrometer peep sight & 6-hole aperture eyepiece.

.303 bolt & magazine shown out of rifle

I hope you still have the 1942 NZ issued Long Branch I traded you?

I had one similar until 2-3 years ago when I traded it for a "FF" marked matching. Fianna Fial 1918 BSA III*

"

Savage - "Includes SA marked sling, action cover, Brass oiler, UZI No.4 bayonet, MECAR grenade launcher with holster. British Lend Lease “U.S. Property”. (Add $350)"

"Kalamazoo, MI 2002 (Shoulder purchase at gun show) Traded a mismatched and cracked P’14 for it!"

Long Branch - "Shortened ‘42 barrel. Missing the charger bridge. Early Example. Has early Long Branch round cocking piece. Butt has cheek piece. Fazakerley micrometer rear sight."

I know folks. OT from .22's. I will refrain future.

Not an Enfield .22, just a relative which I don't love as much!  A War Office Pat. 1907 Training Rifle marked to the Durban Light Infantry. Note Para. 2 in the accompanying document from our Military Archives.

I do occasionally use this rifle loaded with a .22 round from which the bullet has been removed and replaced with No.9 shot. Very effective against garden-invading birds!
