Default swift training rifle

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).
