If Harper needs to in the new year, he can fill vacancies in the senate with conservative appointees and he will have a majority in the senate. He would, of course, rather wait until he can reform the senate and have an elected senate instead of the current patronage appointees. But it will soon be doable on the stacking, so the senate is not the problem.

The next big hurdle for this bill will be the committee which is supposed to study, and if need be, vote amendments to this bill. The Liberals on this committee have already promised that the bill will never see the light of day. If I recall, the committee that was working on it before this second reading was already trying to get the bill scrapped, but the conservative member of the committee was still able to steer it through.

After watching this thread I got to wondering about putting an old sporterized Enfield back to military configuration. I checked out one that was my father in laws and was surprised to see that it was a 1902 LE No1* CLLE 1 made by L S A Co. (Lithgow Small Arms??) Now this makes it a lot harder to find parts but a unique rifle if I do find them. Now the question arises; does anyone on the forum have any spare parts for one of these long Lee Enfields or know where I can find any?

London Small Arms, not Lithgow, sorry. CLLE is "Charger Loading Lee Enfield" which means it is basically a Long Lee [Enfield] with a guide for a five round charger clip over the breech.

[mike mckinley]

first of all, i absolutely despise bill c68 in it's intirety. what bothers me even worse is the requirement to de-activate a firearm...especially a historic one. having said that, my opinion is better to deactivate it than to see it go to the smelter/ torch (add method of destruction here). there is another option available..that would be the swift training rifle. it was a training aid during the war which closely resembles the enfield rifle both in weight and astetically and has an operating bolt. they do become available from time to time and were used throughout the commonwealth. while they aren't classed as a replica, they aren't a dewat either, and may be the answer to those wanting to display a period firearm with their vehicle.

Like this? They came patterned after No.4 rifles as well as Enfield P-14's (or No.3 Mk.1's if you prefer).
