Help locating a NoI MarkIII within a $700 budget...
Hey everyone,
I literally just recevied my C&R licence today and would like to make my first purchase with it a Lee Enfield SMLE. Ive been looking but it seems like they are a little harder to find than i expected them to be. Im looking for a NoI MarkIII that is within a $700 budget, im not looking for a perfect rifle by any means, it will be a rifle that i use and enjoy to shoot on a weekly basis. I have been looking around but haven't seen anything that falls into that category. Any help at all on where i could use my C&R and find a NoI MkIII somewhat in a budget would be awesome.
Thank you in advance everyone

You should be able to get a really nice rifle for around 450 with a mint bore. 700 seems very high.

I would love to find one, ive been looking at the obvious C&R websights and am getting nothing. I am willing to spend $700 but i would like to spend less.

So, instead of doing it like this...why not actually place a WTB in the correct category? The right people will see it there. Also read through the posts on the forum reference LE and see what's expected of a good clean collector rifle.

Thanks for the suggestion Jim, i am not sure where that WTB correct category would be but i will continue to investigate. I will definitely read through the posts and see whats expected of a good clean rifle. Thanks for the time to reply Jim.

Haunt the auction sites and set your search queries to e-mail you hits. It's time consuming, but you can find gems. Also, start driving to gun shows. 6 hours one way is not out of the question. The smallest shows can have the best finds. Good luck!

You ought to buy two for amount. Forget web markets, auctions. Go to gun shows and look there. I have a nice collection that was developed doing two to four shows a weekend. Good luck, the fun is in the hunt. Shopping for guns from a catalog or website is little better than buying underwear.
