Preferable the first one from the 1988 ACGG raffle? That gun has disappeared from the ACGG website.

Can you post them here or email them to me?

recoil@optonline.net


Thanks, Rob

I don't have a photo of that one (metalwork was by Blackburn), but I do have a photo of another "Ultimate Enfield" that has been posted on here a few times before (metalwork by Burgess).

Actually the late Tom Burgess did all the metalwork and I stocked and blued it. It began life as 340 Wtby and is now a 416 Rem

Here is another one by the late Thomas Burgess.




The metalwork for the one done by the guild in 1988 was done by Ted Blackburn. Actually, he did two exactly alike at the same time. One was for the guild rifle, and one was a spec. rifle. They were written up in Guns Magazine.

The one above. I have some full length shots of a 416 Rigby I made for the same client on another Burgess Enfield that I can E-mail you directly. I haven't a clue as to how to post a pic myself. If you can post them be my guest.

While the work done on thesse rifles is fist class. They do not "look" like Enfields to my eye. Just another Model 70 clone with a three position safty and a straight bolt handle.

I guess My taste in Enfield based rifles is not the same as those who wanted the above rifles.

There is something about the Enfield safety that is striking and, in it's own unique manner, a thing of beauty. dancing

+1 except for the mod to the bolt release on the synthetic rifle. Enfield/Mod 30 bolt releases are a PIA as-is.


"Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson.
