British .22RF Training Rifles

[Alan De Enfield]

Yup - a BSA No7 Mk1 - the ONLY .22rf Enfield trainer designed to be fitted with a magazine that fed cartridges instead of just catching the empties

A limited production of 2000 for the RAF

How does it shoot Alan?

It shoots well and is great fun on the 100yd range

If I've been using my No4 and switch to the No7 I've had the range officer coming over and calling a cease fire assuming i've 'had a missfire' (he thinks - as he didnt hear a 303 going off)

There is plenty of time to fire, go and make a cup-of-tea, have a biscuit and return to the firing point in time to see the bullet strike.

All round good, low cost fun

Ever notice how as we go along, the more centerfires we get the larger the rimfire collection grows too?

Picked this up last weekend

Not quite, there is also the one with the Parker-Hiscock magazine, but hens teeth are common compared to it. (also required the bolt to be modified, (more than just the bolt head)

Semantics maybe - but the No7 was the ONLY .22rf Enfield trainer designed to be fitted with a magazine that fed cartridges instead of just catching the empties.

The Parker Hiscock magazine was designed to fit an existing rifle in an attempt to make it 'magazine fed'

Here are a couple for you, and one is not a No7.

[Alan De Enfield]

OK - its a fair cop. I'd forgotten the No5

So do they make .22 conversions for the MK3 that exist in today's market?

When the No1 Mk3 was converted to a .22rf trainer it was called a No2 Mk4*

There are 1000's (if not 10s of 1000's) out 'in the wild'

So... Stupid question. Being in England, are you allowed to own surplus rifles like these?

Yes
I have several Enfields in .22rf, .303 and 7.62 -= including

No1 Mk3*
No2 Mk4*
No4 Mk1*
No4T
No5 Mk1
No7 Mk1
L42A1

"Long Lee" and No4Mk1* in 410 shotgun

Despite 'internet rumours' it is not difficult to own firearms in the UK, its just a case of 'playing the paperwork game' with the Police

[Johan412th]

Thanks for solid answer. This l42a1 absolutely fascinates me. Are they hard to find?
