WTB/WTT: Lee Metford and Enfield Rifles, Carbines and More

[Tarheel Arms]

(Cross posted from Gunboards/K98k Forum)

I'm looking at beginning to take a deep dive into the collecting relm of Lee Metfords and Enfields. An RIC LEC I am looking at sparked my interest and I have decided to start my hunt for one here. Below I will post a list of the variants I am interested in purchasing or trading towards. Only examples I would not been interested in are recently imported Ethiopian Lee Speeds and sporters. Please feel free to send me a P.M or email "Warrowood0113@gmail.com" with any potential offers. All forums of payment can be accommodated. On the trading block I have an all matching, pristine MAS 36/51, a good honest Transitional Remington M1903, a Romanian Pistol Mitralieră model 1963 and what I have currently listed I would be willing to trade towards one of these rifles.

If you have any particular trading interests that I don't have listed please shoot me a P.M and I'll see what I have in my collection. Thanks for taking a look.

EDIT: I was asked on another thread what condition of rifles I was interested in purchasing. I understand most of these rifles are well over 120 years old and finding a mint example is close to impossible. I am a preservationist first and foremost. Condition wise, I would be more than happy to purchase what would be considered a shooter or as nice of an example that is offered to me. "To include DP rifles" I expect most of the rifles I have listed to have a poor bore condition. This will not dissuade me from purchasing one. I am more interested in the history of these rifles and I would like to have an example in my collection of one, I already have plenty of fine shooters in my collection.
