Granted a 1908 LSA is a nice thing but I think someone paid a bit too much for a restored EY rifle. Or am I just cheap?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

DP is obscured through over stamping on action and barrel as well.

They sure did a number on that part too. usually it's just a linish by the professionals so you can see what was there. This total obscuration sets off bells because it's an obvious attempt to deceive.

Holy crap!! PT Barnum was right!!!

That is pretty obviously a restored DP as mentioned, wow, just simply wow!

I would be a much richer man if I had no conscience...

The EY is cancelled out by the proper cancellation mark though. Its the DP thats been over struck by the 0 stamp that would have me thinking, along withe linished bolt SN. $2400+ I wouldn't think so!!

Yes, that's what I meant...

There are no limits some sellers will go to in wringing out the most of a POS rifle in its unaltered state, rather they tart it up and on-sell to a person whom may think they are getting a good buy when it really is a sows ear in a boars b*ll bag.
