Unbelievable e-bay item (No.4 rifle spares)

**enscien** · 03-11-2011 02:05 PM

Would you believe that someone is bidding £112 for a standard No.4 rifle backsight axis pin, plunger and spring on e-bay at present? There have been boxes of the last two on sale over the last year!

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.

You know what they say about fools and there money. I spose most edumacated peoples like us know what an approximate price is for something like that, some people will bid on anything at over inflated prices. Just like the no4T sniper scope on evil bay at the moment, it has been on with no bids and each time it gets put back on its coming down in price, as it started at 4 plus grand and is now on there for 3 with no bids.

Are you refering to the one with the repro bracket and tool? I may be wrong but the tin don't look right either.

Original No. 32 Sniper Scope and Accessories. Yep thats the one, though the seller does state that the mounts are repro, and the box has been resprayed at some time. If you wernt after it for the originality it wouldnt be to bad i spose.

It is decidedly odd given the items are relatively easy to get hold of.

The really strange part is at least here in the U.S. you can often with the more common pieces go to one of the normal places selling Enfield parts and get the same part for less money and lower shipping cost.
