    I see there's an L42 listed for sale now in the UKicon at GBP 19,500...!
    I think that is extremely optimistic pricing, despite the contents of the CES (seems to be missing the bottle and brush) I still think it is at least £7k overpriced if not more.

    However, it is worth what someone is willing to pay I suppose. Time will tell.

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    They are just above the Rifle Butt in the 1st picture.


    The same seller has a No4T at £5750 which is (I think) a reasonable Market price.


    I hope he does sell the L42 at £19,000 - I can prove to SWMBO that mine was a good investment

    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...
