Yes, the rifle had incorrect screws in the sniper base, the scope was a late model MK II instead of an early MK I, but other then that it ws a very nice example of a trials rifle. It was surprising how much it went for.

Yes it was suprising how much it went for. I see from the buyer's feedback that he is not from the USA
and the auction showed no international sales. If the seller is serious about the international sales, it will be interesting to see if it reappears on the auction site.

The pictures show a Mk3 scope so presumably not original to the rifle.
Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

Right.... Meant to type MKIII, forgot an "I"
It does look the the seller does not want to sell overseas, there is a big "no overseas sales" note added on the 16th. If he sells it to the second highest bidder, who is US based it will go for $4,999, a tidy sum for a mismatched rifle with in-correct mounting screws. Wow.....
It is a very nice trial rifle though.

I placed a $2,700 bid and was going to go a little higher, but by the time I logged back on it was over $4,000!!

A friend ran it up to about 3 beans and hollered "uncle".

I thought the waisted front sight protector looked a little too nice compared to the rest of the rifle. Went higher than I thought it would.

Good set of photos at any rate. More would be better, but the major dramas are evident. I like it as it wasn't a 1933 "upgrade". And it still has an Enfield magazine.
