Enfield Value

DesertRaider109 · 06-25-2009, 04:20 PM

Hello all

I was at the local gun/militaria store today and someone was buying a Lee Enfield No.4 for $850! It was a pretty nice rifle to be sure, but it was a plain old ROF (F) with nice looking wood that was original to the rifle. Non-matching.

I got my Enfield (almost the exact same rifle) for $200 at a gun show!

I was reading an old Shotgun News from 2007 where JGSales had Enfields for $109.95!

While I really want an Enfield, there are SO many more guns I would buy for that price.

Unless there was something really special about it the guy got boned.

And my MATCHING ROF(F) was $169 + shipping.

My 100% matching mk III cost me $40.00

Of course that was 14 years ago :O

sorry wouldn't have paid that much for one. I have seen some on gunbroker go for quite a bit but they were the unissued rifles or so they claim. They looked perfect but still I don't think I could spend that much on one.

Heck I sell half of mine for 4 bills each savings of 50%

captsquirrel · 06-27-2009, 01:39 PM

Wow! I think the guy got duped. Unless there is something we don't know that's way too much.

Could it have been a sniper variant or something like that?

I've seen "PF" Irish contract rifles in the warp bring that price but a plain Jane No4, he got boned. A "T" model would be in that range.

I wouldn't give that for a 55 gallon drum full of them. I sold my matching no.1 MKIII last year for 175.00 and threw in a 1907 Wilkinson bayonet and sheath.
