The Irish governments department of defence has (at least until recently)
several thousand Lee-Enfields for sale (.303 and .308 (?)) most of
which are still in grease - the number could be as high as 30000.
I remember using the rifle while on a local defence force outing -
teenage years - not very successfully.  However, I do recall the effect
of leaving the gas ports blocked :-)
