Ridiculous $'s

[CINDERS]

Stock set for a MkIII with 24hrs still to run as Peter says they do not make them anymore but this is even by my ludicrous standards this is way out there. And if they do not know what they are doing in the fit up they could ruin it as it is not a drop in fit like our component built rifles of today, but credit to the seller he advised them it needs fitting by an amourer if the buyer wishes to?
But it still is madness......

What have I been saying about the prices of Lee-Enfield stuff?

[BushyFromOz]

I'm not surprised at all.

With the difficulty of getting anything out of the states, the supply is low and the demand high

Some people would prefer the stock rather than another rifle, especially if you have storage issue like i have. I have no more space and 2 more on layaway

Not sure what you mean but anybody who has taken a tour of Sarco's where house.... there is no shortage. There is not enough market to organise the parts for the restoration crowd. An amazing selection but little incentive because even the overall market is small.

the restoration Market? .....for enfilds? Too weird for the average american. Sarco have 15 and 55 gallon drums filled with every part for enfields. several 55 gallon drums filled with recievers alone. no market for the rifles, no market for spares. and still too many nice clean matching origonals for somebody to go ape shyte crazy on a restoration. present company accepted.

too bad because you cant ship guns or parts oversea's to the market where they might sell

only Americal fire arms get that level of appreciation. I doubt it will change either, in the future. I'm amazed they even sell for300 bucks. restored w/ matching numbers? the shippin alone would eat up your margins.

It's obviously possible, otherwise people outside the US wouldn't be able to buy newly-made American guns. "Not worth the hassle" or "Not economically worth it" might be closer to the mark, but I still think it's acheiveable all the same.
