Hi guys,

just signed up to the site, seems a pretty interesting group! I'm a gun nut through and through.

I have an 1918 SSA SMLE rifle all numbers matching (receiver, bolt, sight, nose cap, furniture) and in awesome condition with a mint barrel.

However it's been FSR'ed twice, one at Ishapore in 1924 and at BSA in 1953, how would you think this would affect the value? all I can see that they've changed is I assume a new barrel (that is serial numbered to the rifle) and bloody suncorite paint.

how do you think this affects the value of the rifle? would this SSA be worth much more than your usual good condition SMLE and a mint barrel?


interested to see what you lot know

cheers!
