I thought only the Brit build 1955 no4mk2's were that valuable. I usually see the irish ones from the 54 era go for 600, tops!

Maybe someone else can shine some light on that.

I think the light of delusion is shining on that No4. The Lithgow's overpriced too, IMO.

[Lee Enfield]

Sorry, but the "mummy wrapped" No4 rifles only collect a premium while they are STILL IN THE WRAP.

Other than that they are just another nice FIRED/USED rifle.

Why anyone would un-wrap a new rifle when they can easily buy an already unwrapped one exactly the same has always confused me.

That particular seller is renown for valuing his possessions optimistically. 'nuff said.
