I would tend to disagree. I have seen them go for 15-25 USD and sometimes higher. Your best bet is te USA. Lot of FN guys there making up dummy FN's; taking Brit and even metric ones and adding the necessary CDN parts on to them to make them look like a C1A1.

True, but if you try and sell it through ebay, just the letters FN will get it yanked. A friend was getting $100 each for the C1A1 rear sights, and around $50 for the Cdn topcovers, until the ebay rules kicked in and ruined the market for him.

I never mentioned Ebay at all. There are other and easier ways to sell in the USA, and you prices are a bit dated. Rear sights will easily fetch $125 and more and top covers are gone within minutes at $65 a pop.

I guess I am out of touch with the US market prices, especially since I don't know where the stuff gets listed for sale.
Here is a source for the stuff here in Canada. http://www.maritimemedals.com/cgi-bin/online/store.php
They have the C1 and C2 sights for $50 each. They had the top covers for $15, but must have sold out. Lots of other C1 and C2 parts too, along with some SAL/CAL Enfield bits.

This is beginning to sound like things here in the states, first our taxes builds the guns and then our taxes destroys them, Perhaps we shouldn't be paying so much taxes, say only the part that builds the rifles, then they would have to sell the old ones off to pay for the political percs.-SDH

As 36 Hamon said, you have to look around. If you are looking for auction type sites, go to gunbroker. Or you could buy from me. I have a number of parts, i might be able to help you out. Pm me a list and I will have a look at what I have.
