Looks like the Euroarms warehouse. They handle sales of SMLE rifles given to the Italian Navy after WW2.

Any word on what markings are seen on Italian navy Enfields? SW

Heres the Euroarms site with contact information link.
http://www.euroarms.net/EFD/introduction.htm

would love to wander round that facility for a week or two

they dont seem to list a distributer in the States

they have some nice mkIIIs with early bits intact , would love to get a few of those

The prices Euroarms gets in Europe for a Lee Enfield are significantly higher than the USA market. hence they are not looking at selling any over here.

This may not be the right place to post this, but I'm now holding on to all of my Foreign made rifles both Enfield and Mosin The Un arms trade treaty may cause them to rise in value

might , but i think too much has been made of this - first if congress doesnt radify its not legal no mater what BO does , second if congress does and its against our constitution [which it is] it will be ruled so , if not there are a lot of armed americans to answer to ...........they cannot take our constitutional rights from us without the fight of their life

No Mike you misunderstood me. I know they will not touch American rights, and seriously I don't think that is really on Obama's plate anyway.He has too many other issues facing him. What I'm referring to is the possibility that the Foreign Market may dry up. We as Americans have no control over that. The UN does. The Import and export of weapons internationally will cease if this Trade Treaty ever goes into affect Most certainly Andrey, and Martin can attest to this. The Lee Enfields are rising in value on their own and mine is lend lease. This does not make it overly valuable, but it is a considered to be worth keeping with a possible future as far as value goes. The Mosin 91/30 on the other hand is a cheapie C&R with relatively minor value This is due to it's almost unlimited availability. The same is said for a number of Milsurps. Supply far exceeds demand. If the UN stops the influx of these weapons into this country, what we have rises in value. Then Demand far exceeds supply.

oh yes , i see , i did missunderstand , i see your point , radification by other countries could cut off our supplies ,

this has always been a problem tho , look at all the M1garands and carbines kore was willing to ship back but hitlery and the like stopped its repatriation

I think it is against French law to ship military rifles out of that country anymore. There will be more of that I believe as other countries agree to it. Best not to let your citizens be able to fight back if you don't make weapons yourself. Weak governments cover their bases.

I'd really like to see more Lebels too, darn.
