There is a .22 sub calibre training device that can be fitted into the L98A2.
The No.8 .22 Rifle (Lee Enfield) is still available if you have a suitable range.

The main reason why cut out rifles may be being used is because certainly in my county we only get three drill rifles per detachment which is totally useless for training. Our detachments either have secure Armouries or Gun Safe's which weigh a ton. No problem with security for DP's.

CCF's have their own live weapons in quantity
