Is this a record...

[Patrick Chadwick]

... For an Enfield No.4 Mk2?

€1745 ! ! !

Knock off the one in front, halve the rest, and you have what I paid for mine ten years ago(also an UF55A, less than 1000 earlier - i.e. a week or two).

OK, mine isn't quite as new-looking - I bought it for shooting, not for admiring - so maybe it's only worth half as much. It was also an arsenal-mint - never in service - example at a time when there seems to have been a stack of them sold off by German dealers at typical prices of €4xx.

But now - these old rifles are edging up into the price stratosphere. I think I'd better give my rifle a bit of TLC with linseed oil. And the others, acquired for moderate 3-figure prices, that now seem to fetch solid four-figures.

Something that you can enjoy using AND see it increase in value! I'm so glad that my fiscal irresponsibility led me to purchase those old bangers when I could!

So let's enjoy them while we can, knowing that, when we're gone, our inheritors will have nothing to complain about!
