Did Springfield Armory (IL) ever import or sell Enfield rifles?

[Tanker Don]

I've been searching for info on a rifle like this for a long time. I bought one back in the early 90's. Marked mostly the same way except my "Springfield Armory" stamp is below the British B proof instead of above as shown in the OP's pics. What I'd really like to know is where the B D F stamp is from. Probably a story without an answer, but at least now I know my rifle is not a one-off so I'll keep digging for info.

to expand on my post from a few years ago,

Springfield Armory, the commercial firm, not the US Gov't version, imported a lot of it's firearms,
either in completed or partially completed form


the 1911's were on South American Frames for a good bit,
the SAR 48/4800 (FAL) were Argentine IIRC,

and of course the XD's are made in Croatia,


surely they had access to some South or Latin American surplus years ago,


if I get a chance (as in remember) I 'll look thru the updated the Broad Arrow and see if BDF is in it

Lyman, the FALs (SAR-48 and SAR-4800) were sorced out of Brazil. I remember Reese Surplus back in the 1980s selling M1911A1 slides with Colt markings on one side and Brazilian markings on the other. Mase a couple pistols out of those.

Back in 1986 I was PCS'ing to Defense Language Institute. While driving through Illinois I visited Springfield Armory, Simpson's and Reese surplus. Piles of the stuff, and cheap. But then again E-5 pay was not a lot.

thanks for the clarification,
I was confusing FM with Imbel,
