Aquired a few new rifles, and once again, I simply could not resist refinishing them.

Here in the UK we can only get deactivated one's, been looking for a deactivated M1 Garand for my 82nd Airborne impression for awhile, but the only one I found was £2,000. Slightly out of my budget, so I am just going to buy the Denix Replica and modify it to make the Enbloc's 'pingable'.

But those are looking really good! Really like the finish on them!

You could probably get one in the UK no problem, but you need to go through the Firearms cert process first.

Perhaps, but I don't know where I would find one in Northern Ireland.

You'd be looking for a Mainland purchase. Local gun dealers are usually your best bet for a walk through.
