    Did I miss something?

    Local gun show, this one vendor had 2 non-matching U.S. Rifle, Caliber .30, Model of 1917s, priced at $1,595.00, acting righteously proud of them...They were mix=masteThe "R" rec. had a "W" bbl, "E" stock, no cartouches, the other was an"E" rec., with a "JA" bbl. I figured M1917s would go up in price upon their 100th birthday, but DAMN!!! Any info will help...

    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 ...

    If that price was for both it's a little high of normal for mixmasters. If that price is for each that would be high for a mint all matching one.

    There were two for sale at the WAC show in Monroe, WA last weekend, a Winchester and an Eddystone. $900 each. I thought that price was a little high considering their condition, but then I'm probably a bit jaded since I got my M1917 two years ago for $525.

    "...Local gun show, this one vendor..." Lotta guys go to gun shows thinking they're going to get rich selling milsurps. The assorted auction sites are the same. Dealers, mostly, who think they have gold and prices accordingly for stuff you can easily buy in Walmart or Cabela's.
    It's worse up here because they think stuff is worth the same here that it is Stateside. One guy carried a bunch of dirty, greasy, junker M1icon Rifles and clips back and forth, years ago. He thought his junker rifles were worth $775Cdn and the clips $4Cdn each.
    Spelling and Grammar count!

    Just wait till the movie "1917" comes out-- I think prices will jump just like after "Dunkirk" and some of the other war movies. Salt Flat

    Edit-- I guess it is already out in the UKicon and to be released Jan 10 in the U.S.
