Which rifle to sell?

[Smellymarkfive]

Me, I would find an excuses to keep them both, but that`s me I collect em & have never sold a firearm !...................

This is where my mind is at. I've been swapping rifles for a few years now getting better ones and selling the worse ones. I'm almost at a 'I can't part with any of these' phase. I think I'm going to try for a rummy hand 04, 05, 06, and 07 No1 MKIs and '22, '23, and '24 MK Vs, all I need is a '23 and gin.

I would swap the wood from the 24 to the 22.You will have correct wood and matching bolt.Most collectors shy away from a mis-matched bolt.

I almost did this but can't bring myself to actually do it. If I was keeping both I might, because I could always switch them back.

I'd keep the original one and send the other one out...If you have to...the odds of finding another are slim though. Don't take original wood off one gun to put it on the other... The one you cobbled together would satisfy someone like me. I wouldn't part with either unless I absolutely had to.

I always had in the back of my mind that I would get repro wood from EFD eventually, but they are pricey. If I could get the prices they have on their guns I'd do it in a shot.
