Wipe your eyes MeatMarket, it was probably a wreck anyway.
That it was "perfectly good" is an assumption for which we have no evidence whatsoever.Originally Posted by LeagleEagle
I have already suggested that it was quite possibly by no means "perfectly good" to start off with.
Wich brings me to the next point of respectful disagreement:
So is any wreck.

Patrick I see your point. I'll give 'em the benefit of the doubt. I just hope it wasn't in good original condition before this.
Hey Patrick, you took that (IT`S ONE OF A KIND) out of text. What I said sort of was that you can buy a stock 1917 anywhere anytime, but you can`t buy one like that anytime, which is a one of a kind custom gun. I`ve never saw a one of a kind 1917, unless it was a custom sportized (bad word) 1917.
OK Older Than Dirt, only teasing
If you liked that, take a look at what I just posted under "Bubba strikes again" on the Lee Enfield forum!
Even better - or worse - depending on how you take it!

Patrick, I had a couple of those 303`s. I bought them back about 1958-59 & paid $10.00 a peice for them. They were good shooters, but I just never liked them. I sold them about 3 years ago for $100.00 each. A good invesment I`d say for something i didn`t like. LOL
I don't know why anyone would do that. I have a perfectly good, pretty, apparently new 1917. Still has green preservative paint on it.
It is in such condition I don't want to shoot it!
Are you sure that is paint? Or was it reparkerized at some time? I believe grease on top of parkerizing can look very green.

Hate to bring this back up, but damn that thing sold for a lot. I think it's kind of neat, of course I would prefer the original though.
Sad very Sad to destroy a piece of history.
