I know a couple here should get a kick out of this one.
Its the first real, functional one I've come across.

Very cool.! Looks like a Swift Mk. IV training rifle.

Does the needle mechanism still work?

We had something similar for the '03?

As said, it's a Swift. Earlier ones looked like P'14s, not Enfields.

Do you have the target frame for it?

No frame, just the rifle. Its kinda cool, but probably not one I'll keep.

Cool.

There's one on Craigslist for $50. If it wasn't in a different state, I'd buy it.
