Dealer told me they would ship it on Monday so if all goes well I should have it at week's end. I've been stupid lucky when it comes to Enfields recently so I'm hoping my lucky streak is still intact.
While I pride myself on keeping track of current milsurp pricing I don't see No 8s come to market enough in the US to have a handle on value. I'm confident I did OK but wouldn't mind hearing from those who have No 8s.
There have been a couple or three on Gunbroker in the last few months, from memory they were over $600 and I think one didnt reach reserve.
