Enfield No.4 MKI 275.00

  I'm just linking to this because I know some of you are Enfield lovers.  I don't know a thing about them, but the price sounds good.

    I hate to see this...I hate to see it because I want to buy it but I should not.  I view every Enfield like it is an abused animal that I must rescue.  That is not a bad price....especially with the ammo and extra magazine.  I must look away.

    Back in the 70's when l worked for Custom Gun we literally sold hundreds of these guns all pretty cheap, like $50 and we had pallets of ammo for them. Magazines were so plentiful that we had a 30 gallon barrel full of them for like $5 each. We had 3 complete armoury boxes of tools and parts. We also had another field box of parts that had over 400 bolt heads and perhaps 40-50 complete bolts in it.  But back in those days we bought full cases of unissued Mauser 98 for little over $15 for each gun. At one point we bought nearly 100 FN FAL's (C1A1 rifles.) With that purchase we bought a armourers field box of parts with tools. We had to install semi-auto hammers and sears in them but could leave the full auto ejectors in them. So many guns so little time...

    Amazing how things change. I use to order a thousand .303 British on line for almost nothing.
