    I checked out an No4 Mk 1 enfield at a pawn shop today. It was a sporterized version without hand guards or forestock that had the wood hacked off on the bottom stock and sanded to look more sporty. It was without any iron sights at all( only had some weird german named notch blade welded onto the barrel above the chamber). They wanted $325USD. I said politely, "No that thing is missing sights, handguard, stock and it ain't worth that to me. I wanted to trade a sks for it. They told me to give em 50USD and the sks. I said no thanks bye. Does $325USD sound like a reasonable price for a rifle without barrel bands,stock, handguard or sights? What should I look to pay for a No4 Mk1 nowadays in good condition with all it stock and hardware intact (including sights lol)? Any and all help is appreciated.
