There is a great new website here http://www.enfieldresource.com/ that is devoted to Enfield rifles, with loads of information and links to other websites all relating to Enfield rifles.

Frank Burberrys Paints can now be contacted on fbpaints@hotmail.co.uk   his latest paints are the best so far and I now use nothing else on my PIATS etc. they dry to a hard wearing finish and dry quickly too, so no hanging around between coats.  So if you need some decent military paint in a range of colours, give him an email on the above or call 01209 719022, I can heartily recommend him. Frank will also be at Malvern and will be on stall number 39 there. 

VCR BILL

Under the new legislation covering the sale of realistic replica firearms I will only be selling my replica PIATS in bright red primer as thus painted they are exempt from the legislation and can be sold to anyone. They will still be exactly as the originals I have sold in the past with flip up sights etc. and the canvas parts, but will just be painted RED. They will be the same price as before £450 plus £16.50 for fully insured delivery.

However!, if you are one of the following I can still sell them to you legally   in the original dark green colour:-

1, A bona fide reenactor and part of a group and hold the relevant third party liability insurance

2,  a museum or gallery  

3, theatrical performance and rehearsals of such performances  

4, the production of films and television programmes  

5, the organisation and holding of historical re-enactments  

6, crown servant.
