Enfield No.4 Mk2 “Tanker”

A shortened version of a full-length Enfield rifle, the so called “Tanker” models usually feature a 16″ long barrel. They get the name Tankers because they are marketed as the issued firearms of tank crews that needed a shorter rifle. In reality a majority of the Tanker style rifles are just surplus guns that were cut-down by importers in order to sell their overstock they couldn’t get rid of. While they make for interesting novelty pieces, and are actually sometimes decent truck or scout guns, they hold no collector value. (GRH)
