"bolt action rifles are exempt from the AWB so they can be as scary as you want witha 5 foot bayonet and nobody is going to sniff at it. the buying frenzy is actually probably due to an increase in use among those that already own enfields. case in point."
I do not want to hijack the thread, but you might want to look at the bill Fienstien is proposing. It says that any gun with a bayonet lug is a "Military Style Assault Weapon" and there fore does fall under her proposed ban.

As for 303 ammo. I have been looking for some myself for quite some time. I have found some on store shelves for $40 a box. Everytime I check online they are always sold out.
