As far as D&C rifles go, it may well be that they disposed of them in several batches, and that one or more batches have survived to go to new homes. However, there are/were sufficient pieces of numbered woodwork around (including attached bands and triggerguards, incidentally) to strongly indicate that at least half a dozen rifles were cut up. Ps3 Popstation V5 Iso 9000. Given that I only have some of the wood that became available, I'm sure quite a few rifles were cut. My woodsets are mixed up, with numbers from several rifles represented.

I have seen one 'Enforcer' that appears to have the genuine numbered forend that matches a handguard and butt in my stock. Given that that rifle did not have what i regard as authentic numbering on the bolt, magazine and receiver, I can only assume that that rifle was 'recreated' to match the genuine forend. I may be wrong, of course, but. Perhaps Mr tlvaughn could also post the info as listed by date delivered, I believe that would be interesting as well. No.175 is mentioned above Enfield Enforcer Police Sniper Rifle Serial No 175 Calibre 7.62mm Price: £Sold Matching & in Very Good Order.
This is one of the Enfield Enforcer rifles purchased by the Devon & Cornwall constabulary. There were around 767 manufactured by Enfield, not all were assembled. A number of parts including a few receivers were sold off to Charnwood Ordnance, who assembled them in to complete rifles & sold them on the civilian market. Police forces purchased Enforcers depending on their budgets at the time; some purchased complete kits including target sights & Pecar scopes, other purchased basic rifles, and then purchased the scopes etc as their budgets allowed. A few original Enforcers were surplused in the late 1990s the rest approximately 50% were destroyed by the individual Police Forces.
This is a Genuine Police Issued Enfield Enforcer serial number 175; it is matching on the action, bolt & magazine. It is fitted with a Harris bipod and correct Parker Hale 5A target sight that required the modified safety.
Sadly it does not have its original scope which would have been a Pecar Variable 4-10 x45. When this rifle came in it was fitted with a scope mount that fitted in place of the rear military back sight, no target sight and the Harris bipod was missing. I have fitted the correct target sight & Harris bipod to bring it back to the Enforcer Specification. The butt recoil pad is a replacement, the barrel is original as it bears the “Patent Applied for” mark only found on genuine Enforcers and the bore is in good condition. ---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ---------- Teesside Rifle & Pistol Club Home Office Approved Club FMS 04 24/25/13/20 National Rifle Association affiliated C1363 The Club's new 7.62mm long range rifle The club's Enfield Enforcer (serial number 477) saw a lot of use even before we bought it, and the 26' barrel was well worn.
Just how worn was revealed when I pushed a tight-fitting patch down the bore and it didn't start to rotate until it had gone 17 inches! Examination with a bore scope revealed that there was virtually no rifling for at least a foot. The rifle continued to shoot well enough until suddenly one day it's 'groups' opened up to two feet!
