Gunner you do have a rare rifle, 10 years ago my friend who was in his late 80s let me shoot his enfield trainer he bought it in the early 1950s up in canada ,he told me that it had no mag.he said back then the mag . would cost more then the rifle. thats how rare it is you have a very lucky find, to have a complete rifle.
Your friend may have had the Canadian military C7 .22 trainer. Worth more than double a regular Enfield, but if he had the British No.7, it would have had that special magazine with a five round magazine inside the main magazine. Those rifles are also rare and expensive. The magazine for those would for sure be quite pricey. With less than 3,000 of these No.9's made, I do consider myself lucky and fortunate. Thanks George!
The C7 Long Branch is in the "Holy Grail " category. They are not often for sale, and when they are, they're quite expensive. I wish. Maybe one day. I was trying to see if the local cadet squadron, would part with there's, but can't seem to figure how. They have four of them, and no longer use them. Apparently the government doesn't want to expose kids to lead. Thanks Ryan!
Hey, I have one of these! Mine has no serial number on the stock and a Parker Hale peep/micrometer rear sight instead of the usual ladder sight. I assume the stock serial number was removed during sanding, but I was wondering if the rear sight was factory or done by a previous owner?

Great gun . Looking great for long distance shooting and hunting. Sniper rifle .
This rifle is very well built and can do all you suggest quite well. The Swiss are famous for quality. Thanks Diwitdhar!
The magazine on this rifle is not original . The magazine in video is actually a C# 7 magazine
Hi this is Ethan koett
Nice video! Do you also have the Long Branch 22LR training rifle? I remember using those in the army cadets.

According to Ian Skennerton the rear sight would be of the type in my video. Very happy to hear you have one. They are quite rare. Thanks 88integra
