I have visited many weaponsmith vendors, and they all seem to be full of rifles that say "no" in the Certified field. I am only Novice Rifleman 0-0-0-0, but I thought that gave me certifications for most rifles. For example, my skills window tells me that I am certified to use a certian rifle, but I have yet to find one on a vendor that says "yes" in the certified field.
Has this got anything to do with them being upgraded, or a special "enhanced" schematic... please help I am at a loss 
Thanks.

As far as I know all the certs you need are at Nov Rifleman, and Counter Sniping II for the DXR6b.
Whether or not a rifle is enhanced doesn't matter.

You probably saw a vendor bug that I noticed the other day when I was picking up a new E11 Rifle from a vendor. Some time ago, I had inadvertently bought an E11 Carbine when I was trying to pickup an E11 Rifle. Therefore, when buying E11s now, I always check the "Certified" stat on the weapon to be sure I am getting the Rifle and not the Carbine. I picked out what I was sure was an E11 rifle, but checked the "Certified" stat before I bought it. I was surprised to find that it said, "Certified = No." Figuring I had pulled up the carbine, I went back to the list, but, no, it was the rifle. I checked the cert again, and it was still saying "No." Since I am a Master Rifleman, this should not have been the case. I checked some other rifles (T21s and DXR6bs) and found that they, too, said I was not certified. Therefore, I figured it was just a bug, and bought the E11.
Sure enough, once I got it in my inventory, it said I was certified, so this is a vendor bug you are seeing. Aside from some oddball weapons like the "Tusken King" rifle, Novice Rifleman is certified for all legitimate rifles except the DXR6b and the Berserker rifle.

actully i think that the weapons certs have to do with whoever the owner of the item is... thats why all the certs on vendors say No...
now if you look on acity vendor under pistols, you'll see that you are certed for them even if you have no pistol skills depending on who the owner is...
the only cert that is 100% at all times that can be made by a WS is the beam rifle... ain't nobody certed for that...

its a bug mate, trust whats in the skill window, i went to LK tech on farstar the other day to pick up a new scatter pistol, (i am a NBH) and apparently i wasnt certifyed for it.... i had the same thoughts as you, however thought id buy it anyhow, given i had the cash, and its stats looked the same as the one i had...
soon as it turned up in my inventory, and i re examined it, i was certifyed for it....
yet another SOE bug.
