Thanks for that Alan - always interesting to see. Well done for sticking to your plans - always difficult under temptation like that!
I don't think, bearhunter, that the scotarms auction prices are all that indicative of uk prices as a whole, more of a wholesale if you can get there-type price. 303 no 4s are normally £200-£400, smles £300-£400 or £500 plus if MkIII no stars etc - so overall probably more than in north america.
