I have been looking at Enfields off and on for years. Back when they could be had for $50.00- $75.00 I would look and say to my self that I would have to get one but I don't have the money right now and my wife would skin me alive if I bring home another gun.
Well now it is many years later. I have a different wife who is much more receptive to the idea of owning firearms and a bit more money to spend so I started looking.
At first I was slightly shocked at the prices I was seeing but then I thought about how much everything else has gone up. Looking at it in comparison I don't really think that Enfields cost all that much more. Prices on parts however has taken a decided jump just in the short time I have been paying attention. I hope that is just a short term thing but it probably isn't.
