    Thanks for the advice, and sarcasm aside.

    I'm certainly not ignorant of rifles, I know very much about M1icon Garands and 1903 Springfields...Enfields certainly have their ins-and-outs as well. I had hoped to delete the thread entirely as I found countless sources of information outside of Milsurps and here at home.

    UF55A2517 and the unwrapped is UF55A25324

    I have confirmed that the rifles are outside of any Irish contract, and know that I was speaking out of ignorance when I started the thread. Not too many numbers in the price, just seems that whenever I think of the model codes...my latent dyslexia gets the better of me. No insult intended if perceived.

    I have also discovered that these rifles are not common, but certainly are not rare to any extent...the price reflects what I consider to be about mid-range, with the unwrapped rifle being less. Everyone says they shot 20 rounds out of gun, but I have no reason to doubt him until otherwise proven after inspection. There are tells of a well used rifle...as we all know.

    Thanks for the info...and the mods are welcome to delete the entire discussion if necessary.

    No apology needed, I know too well what a lack of tone of voice, fluctuation and facial expressions can do to plummet spirited conversations.

    I appreciate the help.
