Lee Enfield Envoy 7.62mm Rifle

Lee Enfield Envoy 7.62mm Target Rifle - Serial No E198

Summary

This is a genuine and exceptionally rare Palma Match Lee-Enfield Envoy, presented in outstanding condition. Developed by R.S.A.F. Enfield to meet the National Rifle Association’s specification for a dedicated 7.62 mm target rifle, the Envoy represents the pinnacle of post-war Enfield precision engineering.

Based on the proven No.4 action, the Envoy incorporates a heavy, hammer-finished, free-floating barrel manufactured from high-grade steel, a close-tolerance chamber, and an accurately regulated trigger. The rifle is stocked in beech and fitted with a centre sling-swivel to accept a target shooter’s sling. Sights are classic competition fittings: an A.J. Parker Matchmaker tunnel foresight paired with a Parker-Hale PH5C micrometer-adjustable rear aperture sight.

This example is fitted with its correctly numbered ten-round 7.62 mm magazine. Of the seventy rifles produced for competition, each was regulated by Fultons of Bisley and engraved “PALMA MATCH 1970” on the receiver, exactly as seen on this rifle.

The butt has been extended, and the rifle is equipped with a Parker-Hale rotating front sling mount. There is minor, honest bruising to the woodwork consistent with careful use. The bolt head is a No.1, the bolt body carries matching numbers, and the rifle is correctly proofed at 19T. The trigger breaks cleanly at a crisp 3.6 lbs, completing a highly desirable and fully functional competition-grade Envoy.
