    Fair price for DCM carbine?

    Just wondering what the current market is for a clean DCM(1960's), mixmaster Saginaw(not S'G'), with all the original paperwork. Has a low wood Inland stock in nice shape. Appears to have the original Underwood barrel. Serial number 3,428,xxx.

    Saw it at a gun show today, but he's asking $895 for it. Seems steep to me, but could possibly talk down to $800. Thanks for any opinions.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Seems a bit high to me as well, considering the fact current prices for a Saginaw S' G' rack grade is $595.00, a Saginaw rack grade is selling for $479.00, and a Saginaw S'G' service grade is $675.00. The one you looked at might be a little better shape, but the question is how much better?
