Rescue mission anyone?

Hey Guys....keep working on her....I'd point out to her the difficulty in removing the pads....agree to buy the pads and the rest of the rifle...make it easy for the seller...got to be a story behind this.....can't understand why a person would part out a rifle this way. Ron

I must admit to being really baffled by folks who do this. There's been a wave it it in Australia for the last two years as well. The last person in Oz I emailed like this ,Nov 09, had just completed parting a 1913 Lithgow. (That made me ill when I learned the year date)
The aussie I contacted prior to that was parting a complete Thai Tiger stamped no1mk3, I nearly got the rifle whole but at the last minute he said he couldn't be bothered with the hassle.
The odd part is that its done for the money yet the whole of these uncommon enfields is worth much more than the parts, and they just won't do it.
I guess it pays to watch ebay parts listings closely and read between the lines, and try catch them when possible, and send curses, afflictions and boils from the enfield gods upon their tiny heads. Any one have a spare voodoo doll? Parting one out?

Possibly they don't wish to mess w/ the arcane California laws regarding firearms? Even a non-dealer can ship to a FFL in most places, but there?

Surely all the seller has to do is take the rifle to an FFL holder/dealer and they do the rest for a fee? Amazing.
