    Enfileld WTS
    WTS best ever enfeld rifel
    Here we go, I really really hate to sell this rifel, as it’s one of the nicest enfelds ive ever seen, but I need more room in the safe and my car needs reapares and the wife says its gotta go or the dog dosent get its operation, it’s a closet queen enfield with the wood, good sites and blewing and wood is excellent except the digs and dents from safe kisses and some blood pitting from when it was in the war. The guy I boght it from says his granddad had it in the war and brought it home because he got it from a dead jap. Ive shot a bunch of deer with this gun, it shoots great except it shoots 2 feet to the left when I shoot it. Im sure you could bend it back strate easy. Exact round count is 8. All matches exept clip, barrel bands and wood. I was told the wood was replaced in korea by my friends granddad. Bore is beyond mint eccept for the pitting at the end from the blood. Overall id call It typical condition for a very good war surplus gun


    Ive seen them go for twice this much, and I really hate to let it go, so its cheap at just 950, plus exact shipping plus a 5 dollar box fee and 5 dollars for packing and tape and my gas to the post office, no taxes, FIRM but a good deal nonetheless. If it dosent sell by the end of the month ill part this beauty out and sell them on ebay because its worth more than this in the parts, or maybe ill put it back in the safe and yull miss your chance or I may deactivate for my friends kid to play with. Ivve seen them go for 2 to 3x this much on some dealers sights so this is a real bargin. MUST HAVE PAL AND PROOF OF AGE.

    Thank you

    More pics for serious people only, i will try and put some up later

    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.

    Riflebob was in fact Ollie. Ollie is banned and riflebob has disappeared from CGN. He seems to have tried to disguise his normally perfect grammatical skills with hillbilly talk.

    RIFELBOB (complete with dyslexic spelling of rifle) Gotta laugh at that.

    There are so many inconsistencies, threats and banter in the ad that any serious reader would wonder what kind of solder that guy is using in his moonshine still.

    Why did you resurrect a post from 2009? Especially this one?
