    Advice and opinions needed

    Ok Im torn on doing this and am going to ask for an opinion here

    I have the opportunity to pick up a Winchester 52B which comes with the olympic sights, an original fecker and box along with some tools and the shooting log which runs from mid to late 60's into the 70's

    In trade the guy wants
    1: Remington Nylon 66 Apache Black (Condition A+)
    2: Remington Nylon 66 Mohawk Brown (Condition A+)
    3: Mosin M44 w 540rds ammo and tools (Condition A+, but hell its a mosin)
    4: Spanish Star 22 pistol, not the target model (Condition A-)
    5: Mercury Magnum 20ga SxS (Condition A+)
    6: Remington Fieldmaster 572 (Condition D, needs a refinish if not kept original)

    additionally he would like a 99rd drum I have for a mini 14.

    Now value wise I think I would be doing ok, I am just really torn on the 6 for 1 although it would be adding the cousin to my 52D to the safe. Anyhow toss some opinions please

    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.

    Keep the Apache Black 66, and trade him everything else.

    Talking trade opinion

    I would do it. Although I don't really know what the drum is worth. Feckers seem to be going for between 400-600 dollars in decent shape. The rifle in decent shape with no extra holes or other mods should be worth500-700 or more depending on condition. And I think in the long term the value on the 52 will increase more over time than most of the other item. My 2 cents for what its worth. Tom

    You have over 500 dollars in just the 66's. They are getting harder to find in good condition and value is going up like a rocket.
