    Value difference

    Just curious as to what you think the value comparison for the following two receivers would be:

    1) Inland 6.4 million range, approx 75% condition

    2) Springfield Armory (commercial), like new

    Comparable values? Inland worth a lot more?

    I invite your opinions................

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    USGI ia always worth a lot more to me, but I'd never have a commercial under any circumstance.
    Just no interest to me. Not putting them gown, I just have no interest whatsoever.

    As mentioned above , USGI is worth more. I have an import stamped UNderwood that dealer offered me 400. for site unseen a couple of years ago. I had a commercial Universal a few years ago. Shot well but I wanted aGI one so I sold it for what paid for it.

    Compariable values

    Oranges and peanut butter. Make complete guns then ask the same question. The Inland will always be way over inflated while the SA will always be a commercial gun. Nothing more, Unless you have a type 01 FFL you can't sell either one as is. The complete Inland will wholesale in the $500 to $600 range. The SA will retail for $300 to $400. if you can even find a buyer with the CMPicon guns flooding the market. But I thought I had made a mistake once before but I hadn't.
