No.4 Mk.II still in wrapping - current prices?

[spinecracker]

How much did they cost you, if you don't mind me asking?

The rifle a wrapped Faz, the Bayo, and Scab were a gift for my father inlaw.

Now that was a bargain ...

It goes to show that deals can still be had for those who recognize them and are "fleet of foot" enough to get there and take advantage of them.

Thanks for sharing that info ..

Indeed. I am stunned at your fortune In fact, I will bestow upon you a honour that we Brits seldom give to non-Brits, the title of "lucky bugger" :P

Now, if only I had that kind of luck lol. Someone is selling a No.4 Mk.II 2 1/2 hours drive from me, but they just took it out of the wrap, shot 50 rounds through it, and now wants $650. Errr...I think he's being optimistic lol.

I have one of Bob burbridge's imports a 12/54 PF 332*** No4 Mk2 (F) I had looked all over or a mint condition rife from that year and found lots of dross priced between £300 and £500 sterling. Even those reportedly parade ground only never fired (lol) from dealers in the UK were rubbish. So I very happily paid a little over the odds for a genuine perfect condition example. And I am going to shoot it because that's what it was made for, that is if I ever get to find a range in the north west of the UK that ain't almost closed down due to the inept government funding of the TA.
So if you can find one buy it cos there isn't an inexhaustible supply.

Rhodders.

Bob's guns are nice !!! I have several !!

If only I could find a similar source in the US lol. I'll just have to hunt the local pawnshops, gunshops and gun shows then, one day, I might be the proud owner of a still-wrapped No.4 Mk.II - but I will not be holding my breath :P

I remember that thread. Beautiful rifle (I am jealous). Did you sort out the barrel indexing or did you leave it alone (if I had shot like that, I would have run a victory lap around the range).

[JBS]

Yes, the barrel indexing was corrected, and because it raised such a stink I will not say anymore about it other than it is now correct. My method was almost identical to the method posted by the good Captain.

Getting to be the second person to fire it, the first away from Faz I did have a very large grin when I saw the group in the spotting scope.

I've seen these rifles go for various prices. Wrapped ones from $500.00 to $1000.00+ !! I have seen unwrapped but unissued ones go as high as $750.00.

I traded a unwrapped, unissued one for a wrapped one as I am a collector, not a shooter who has a collection of rifles. From some of the previous posts, a few people seem to be confused as to the difference. I do in fact shoot many of my rifles, I just don't feel the need to shoot ALL of them.

JBS... I'm happy to hear you sorted out that index issue. I remember being one of the first to caution this procedure... as your now obvious skills hadn't shone through yet
