At least it's nice and clean...?
Are we missing something? I just bought a not-parkerized 1917 No.1 mkIII* (Enfield factory) for $250.00 with original barrel (VG bore), matching bolt, stock, nosecap, etc. There must be a lot of disposable income out there!
Ridolpho
+1. Absurd price !
Looks like a re-parked Canadian gun. As there are no Australian property marks, this is somebodies home project.
Someone got really burned.
That's an understatement...Quote:

I am feeling much better about my recent purchases.
Yup, Canadian marked ring ! Unfortunate that value has been degraded by the park....Quote:

I'm an auctioneer, and in my time I've seen some burnings. This is definitely one for the books. Wow.
I mean really....WOW.

Mmmf. There's just not much logic to auctions.
Jeez!
Money and brains...not necessarily mutually inclusive.
You are not unique.Quote:

You old-fashioned boy, you. Nobody uses that expression any more. Like "gay" or "spunky" it is no longer in polite use.

PS, WTF is fine, by the way
That means "Wow thats Funny" right?Quote:

I couldn't believe this rifle was at $500, that's why I put it on my watch list. I did not expect this inconceivable finish. Makes you wonder if the other guy bidding who didn't get it is laughing or lamenting? Ugly park job to boot.Quote:

Might as well have gone the whole distance and "suncorited" it.
