No, your positions of:

0.25,-0.15,0.45

are too close to the camera - the minimum camera range is 1 - any part of any object closer than 1 unit away from the camera is invisible

Edit: Got in before me

but with a different idea

You could try scaleing everything up. It sounds like the rifle is only a couple of units big and if the camera range is set to 1 then it will cover up half of the rifle. If the rifle is around 100 units big then the camera range will mean that you only lose 1/100th of the rifle, which should be unoticable.

+ Code Snippet

make camera 1
load object "enfieldshoot.x",1
load image "enfield.bmp",1

` remember - default scale is 100% - therefore 1000% is 10 times bigger
SCALE OBJECT 1,1000,1000,1000


texture object 1,1

set camera range 1,1,1000
set object speed 1,15
lock object on 1

position object 1,2.5,-1.5,10

do
if mouseclick()=1 then play object 1,1,20
loop
