    I don't think they do it on purpose, just actual ignorance. We have a chain of stores here in Canadaicon that's sort of the same and their gun people are just whoever happens to have a license. They don't have any actual gun knowledge. Don't try to scope out a Dillon press and what's the best way to go about reloading this or that...

    But I don't believe it's deliberate. It takes years to accumulate that sort of knowledge.
    Regards, Jim

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    they seem to know enough to over price it, and look for that one buyer that doesnt know... advertising something as a special rifle, for the special rifle price...
    example... a humped up standard 1903 in a scant grip stock valued at 650.00 tops, and saying its a rare NM rifle and wanting thousands of dollars, is Fraud plain and simple, if it were priced at say 950.00 with a disclaimer as not sure of its history, and it might be a NM, then it could be ignorance...
