    For those afficados

    Got some loose change!

    Calibre/Item: 308W
    Make: Enfield
    Model: L42A1
    Action: Bolt
    Scope: NO32
    Serial No: M36982
    Condition: Excellent
    Price:$20,000.oo
    Advertised:28/11/2018
    Licence number: ********
    Phone: 0414742619
    Comment: Very rare L42A1, all matching complete with transit chest and accessories. This is one of 12 delivered to the Australianicon army for trials in 1970. Rifle is unfired and accessories are unwrapped. Definitely one for the collectors. Impossible to upgrade.

    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.

    Indeed, anyone prepared to pay out $25000 for an Enfield has been seriously afflicted by the Enfield bug.

    As to loose change, if you could even get 25k in change into your pockets, it would be so heavy that you wouldn't be able to get your trousers on!

    Then there are those that only carry rolls of $50 notes which is their small change.
    There are cars here that sold new for less than $20k are now selling for $500k+.
    I have a lonely OC L42 to find and buy all the kit would cost me more in total including the rifle than buying that complete kit.

    I wonder if they'd take a "Dubhai Police" marked Tasmanian Long Tom for trade.

    Otherwise I could only offer them a fiver.

    Your AU$ does not seem to be worth that much since while at first I was a bit impressed by the large amount of money, then entered it in my currency exchange calculator. AU$ 20.000 equals € 12.841, US$ 14.601 or GBP 11.446. This is still a very huge amount of money, but I've seen them sell (or at least offered) for approx. the same price in the UKicon several times. Probably someone is just trying to get the UK price in Australiaicon?
