FOR SALE: WW2 Enfield N0.2 Revolver Replicas

Here is a thread for collectors interested in, or have been looking for a WW2 Enfield NO.2 MK.I "Tanker" Revolver to add to their collection or re-enacting gear. These handguns are also popular with British & Canadian Airborne collectors & re-enactors.

I have manufactured high-quality resin replicas of the Enfield NO.2. The hammer is the bobbed down style, which was designed to prevent catching on clothing, etc. This was a requirement for WW2 Armoured and Tank crews. The revolvers look great - made of black resin and fairly light but highly durable. Each would look great in a rare WW2 "Tanker" or webbing holster.

Actual Enfields are expensive & one needs a firearms licence to own one in Canada. Therefore, these make for an excellent substitute!

Is anyone interested in an Enfield NO.2 replica??
I plan on making a new stock of Enfield replicas in the very near future. In need to know how many are required. Email me at <drc742@mail.usask.ca>

Best regards,
EnfieldGuy

Hello Mr. Enfieldguy,

Do you have anything to contribute to MLU, or are you just trying to flog stuff? And are you aware that reproduction firearms are illegal in Canada? Ironic as it sounds, dewats are still presently legal, but repros aren't; I would urge you not to try to entice our membership into breaking the law.

Thank you,

THE MANAGEMENT

My apologies. I did not know that.

I started doing the Enfield resin replica castings as a favor for a few Canadian WW2 Airborne re-enactors, who were unable to find or purchase a deactivated model.

I read through MLU often and find very valuable information. I hope this matter does not tarnish my reputation - I was only trying to offer my assistance to others who were in the same position as the Airborne re-enactors. I did not know of any potential consequences (now I do).

Not to stir the pot Geoff, but I thought repos were only illegal to import in to Canada ? This guy seems to be in Sask., though it doesn't make it okay to sell here without contributing true enough.

Sean,

I haven't the letter of the law in front of me right now, and being at work can't take the time to find it, but it is my understanding that while dewats are still legal, those 'lifelike' repros were banned quite some time ago. Can anyone more involved in the firearms world verify this for me, one way or another? If I have to eat crow, I will have it well-done with a white sauce and cold white wine, but let's establish this for once and for all; given our popularity in the WW2 community, I prefer to err on the safe side.

Mr. Enfieldguy, thank you for your courtesy and understanding. Hang around while we sort this stuff out!

The Firearms Act, through the Criminal Code, has made 'replica' firearms to be prohibited devices. A replica is a non-firearm (which is why dewats are still legal as they were once 'firearms') which, even if it can discharge a projectile, does so at a velocity which is not capable of causing grievous bodily injury.
A 'reproduction' is a firearm which is a copy of an actual firearm - iusually an antique - but of modern construction. Reproduction firearms are registerable as either restricted, non-restricted or prohibited, depending on their characteristics.
The Enfield revolvers mentioned in this thread would be replicas and would be prohibited.

Thanks Clive. I also received this from another source via email this morning.

So, Mr. EnfieldGuy (BTW, what is your real name?), be so advised. Your heart's obviously in the right plce but don't let it lead you into a place which might not be quite so nice...

“(Criminal code sec. 84 (1)) "replica firearm" means any device that is designed or intended to exactly resemble, or to resemble with near precision, a firearm, and that itself is not a firearm, but does not include any such device that is designed or intended to exactly resemble, or to resemble with near precision, an antique firearm;”


illegal to buy since 1998 , grandfathered before that.

With a proper manufacturing liscence they can be made for movies or other purposes, like police training. Somehow I doubt that is the case here.
I can't say it is that hard to find an Enfield mil issue revolver and have it deactivated. I see the revolvers all the time for between $80-$150 each, and deactivation can be done by anybody, although the CFC now wants the signature of a police officer or a gunsmith verifying they have seen the deactivation and that it meets the guidelines.

Once was a time I was buying them for $30 each, but the market seems to have tightened up since then.

Businesses and individuals that have replicas have to store and transport them with a degree of security equal to or exceeding that of the real firearms. Yet a deactivated gun can be left unsecured on the mantlepiece. Sure makes a lot of sense, eh?
