New Long Lee, did I over pay?

[Fred G.]

Ray, when you inserterd the cleaning rod into the rifle, did it screw into the threads of the rod stop nut or has the rod stop nut been removed? I just had a man make me two rods for those missing on two of my rifles. He had to make a couple of rod stop nuts for them to thread into as well because the originals had been removed. Although they are CLLE's, they had the empty rod channels which were sas to look at and so I now have the rods in them even though they shouldn't have nay technicly. But, They DO look nice! Congradulations on your two Long Lee's. they look really great. One of mine also has a miss matched bolt, but I don't care. Now you have to get at least one more so that you can stack them together by the swivels. I started out getting one and I now have four. It seems that I've got Enfielditis for sure! I paid any where from 1,150 to 1,500 dollars for them. I consider them worth it.
