Lee Enfield No4 MK I

[jdcru001]

Hey y'all,

I have been doing a lot of research on enfields and have decided to buy a No. 4 to start with until I can find a quality ore-WWII SMLE. I was curious though, is $400 still too much to pay for a good No. 4? I have been looking at one that is stellar. It is an ROF-Maltby. The bore is shiny and bright, wood is matching and nearly perfect, and the receiver only has a very small amount of aging and wear. The thing I am unsure about is the bolt doesn't match the other parts of the rifle. Everything else matches. When on gunbroker and other similar sites, these types of Enfield's are selling for tremendous sums. The one I am looking at (as described above) is selling for $628.00.

This is mainly a question on the increased value of the No. 4 MK I, not buying advice per se.
