Enfield question
Is a non-matching, Long Branch, Enfield, with bayonet and scabbard worth $250.00 plus tax, tag and title? Bore is excellent, wood is typical of ex-military rifles with dings and dents.

Matching and an early import with the small mark would be a better deal , but yes I think it is fair. The prices seem to have come down a bit on these as reasonably priced ammo is tough to find these days.

Re: Enfield question
I think I would go that for one considering the prices today. I looked at a No4 MKI this past week end and it had a decent barrel and a pretty dirty finish no bayonet and they want $395 for that. So ya I think so.

Re: Enfield question
Low ballpark figure for one of these today.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

Re: Enfield question
I would swipe that up for $250
The bayonets are usually around $10 IIRC so that's just an added bonus.
Re: Enfield question
I picked up a few Enfields under $200 including a savage last year.. Seems they were the last of there price point.. Yours even seems low end in todays market, so buy buy buy

Re: Enfield question
The Canadian Long Branch Enfields are one of the best made of the #4 MkI series. $250.00USD is a heck of a good deal even if non-matching!
Re: Enfield question
Thanks to all of you enablers..... If it is still in the pawn shop on Monday I guess I will get the dang thing.
