looking to buy Mk1 with transit case

**HoosierNative** · 10-28-2012 09:55 AM

Im very green to enfields but recently fell in love with a gun show enfield sniper with transit case. It was not for sale but would like to try to locate one. I am ok with paying good money for a decent example but have no idea where to start looking or what to look for as far as fakes or key components that really affect the value. Dont need a 100% original but a nice complete package. Thanks in advance for any help.

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.

gunbroker.......expect to pay top dollar

Most dealers i know seem inclined to sell these items on gunbroker now, as the price they get is higher and turn around time is very attractive (to the dealer) on this site.
