Newbie Needs Advice On 1927 Lithgow No.1 MKIII Rifle
Hello All, I've been a member for a little while but this is my first post. I have found a 1927 Lithgow MKIII for sale. The pawn shop guy is was asking $279.00 for it. I ask him what his best cash price was, he came back with $250.00 not counting tax and $10.00 BG check. The BG fee I think is crap as I hold a weapons permit already. The rifle is in overall good shape. Has a dark bore with good rifling. The two front upper handguards are the originals. the rest of the stock is dark. The stock has some markings and numbers but they are hard to see as the stock is dark and kind of dirty. The bolt does not match. Still it is a good looking rifle. What do you guys think about the $250.00 Price? With tax and the other fee it would really be about $280.00. The rifle has been in the shop for quite a while. I'm thinking about calling him and making a counter offer of $200.00 and maybe go up just a little if need be. I'm new to Enfield collecting. I got my first a Jungle Carbine about 4 months ago. Now I've got the bug.
