Question What do you guys think of this?

Worth $170 shipped?






1966 2A1

"It is a Navy Arms "collector grade". It is matching except for the bolt and mag. No bayonet, tools, etc.

The rifling looks good, does not look dark, frosted, worn out. I shot it a couple times when I first got it and it hit the target. Otherwise it has just sat.

I removed the upper hand guard yesterday and the barrel looks absolutely new. The butt plate may not be the right one, it appears that the screws are definitely not."

Don't know why I like it but I do...shoots .308
How expensive is the ammo? Thanks y'all!

Decent you say its chambered for 308 Joe -- surplus isn't bad in the pricing but I still think you could benefit from loading your own

Nice rifle, Joe! I'd jump on it. Gorgeous wood too - that's by far the nicest Ishy I've seen. I may be wrong, but I was under the impression that all the .308 Ishys had aluminum buttplates. Every one I've seen has, as does the one my buddy has. Alas, I'm no exspurt on Ishapore Enfields.
You could ask around on Gunboards Enfield forum - those fellers could tell ya for sure.

Certainly a good buy at that price! Even if you end up with a blaster, you done ok. I might try to find such a thing in the future.

Unhappy

don't blame you Joe, hey when you leave work go straight to the gunshow put on your track shoes and be first in the door :right:

that way you can hit all the tables before the bubba's get in

its a !!!!ed shame, all them old Top Breaks that no one wanted, have ended up in the Hell of online auctions at 'diculous prices.

No ones made a new bid in 3 days...its low now...gonna sit back and watch it and try to slide in at the last minute...if I bid my max, some dingle will come along and inflate the price! I still don't know why someone won't come along and make a modern version of the break action!

same here, a new top break .22 short up to 44.mag would be a start.

a couple years ago at a German equivelent of our SHOT show, Russiashowed off its .357 top break, with a polymer frame. i wish i knew why its not imported.
