They make rubber training C7's for a reason......... :

It may also put the "army" back into army cadets.

Please, please do not open that book.

But I (and various others on our drill team) believe that doing drill with newer looking C7s rather than our old faded and chipped Enfields would look better.

Suggest to your officers that you either pay to restore the rifles and/or slowly purchase 'new' ones over time with money raised through fundraising. You would be amazed at what a 'restorer' (cannot thing of prop' name) can do for old weapons.

I think it is wrong to hand the c7 over to a cadet!
they are not in the reserves or Reg force so why r they
useing what we use.

If you have read through the thread you would find there is not much support for changing the current state of affairs.
