Smile My Enfield Family

At the top is a US M1917 (.30-06).
The one with the brass stock disk, and the one immediately below it are both .22 caliber.
All the others are either Nr1 MkIII* or Nr4 MkII, caliber .303 British. The very bottom one is unissued 1955 production, with original unissued 'bowie' blade bayonet, absolutely mint condition rifle and bayonet.

What a great family photo - I think they have started inter-breeding, you need to get some fresh blood into the family - have a look for a No5, a No7, No8 or No9

I assume your .22 calibre ( or caliber if you prefer) are No2 Mk4* ?

The second one down is slightly out of alignment with the rest - take off the action cover and slide it half-inch to the left. (Only joking)

How well do the .22 trainers shoot?

Great collection.

Exclamation Glad to Be Here!

Thanks for the comments, both crazy and not-so-crazy.

Yes, the .22 trainers shoot pretty good, but not good enough for competition. I have shot all the .303s except the unissued one (it's a Fazakerly 1955).

In fact, I do an equipment display and firing demonstration (blanks!) at the annual San Antonio Highland Games. Great fun, and the kids love to scamble for the brass (no problem letting it go, since it's not reloadable due to neck crimp).

Very nice collection.I'm sorry I didn't pick up one of the .22s when they were a little more available and a little cheaper.LOL I'm of Scots descent but never got guttie enough to wear a kilt.Looks like you put on a nice display.
