Wow $809 for. A Savage Lee-Enfield!

I am going through my collection, photographing each item and inventorying in preparation to sell a large chunk of it, and researching the prices is sort of crazy-making. Prices for things are all over the map, and don't make a ton of sense. I get why Long Branch Lee Enfields are fetching between 600-800, given the Canadian connection and such, but I don't quite understand the sudden uptick in pricing on the Schmidt-Rubin K31s. Mosin Nagants have kind of stalled, likely because there are so many of them, but SVT40s have really taken a jump. It would seem that the way prices are going it is soon not going to be possible for someone just starting out to actually afford any of the nice old milsurps.

The K-31's are well made being Swiss and accurate having shot against them in comp's pity about the charger clips the pressed paper/aluminium most guys just buy spare mags and dump them when reloading rather than the fragile clips which by the way are becoming collectible here in Aus $25-35/Ea.

I sent Classic an e-mail that they replied to on 9/6 and they said that all of the Savage No4's were sold.

Were you considering buying one they had? They were over priced

That true Ed, last week they posted some 1903 Springfields and those too were over priced for what they were. But people bought them and that's where the problem is.

Depending on what they had I would have considered it, but not for a standard Savage, it would have had to been one I'm looking for.
