So I'm picking up a No4 Mk1 next week.
They wanted $499, but I convinced the owner of going to $475.
Did I do ok for a non sporterized with near perfect bore Enfield, or did I done goof?
>>32136651
Is it numbers matching? What condition is the rest of the rifle in?
>>32136651
Remember, only feed it pure or half german blood, none of that cheap polish conscript shit.
>>32136651
I got mine for 460, then i threw a ATI mount and a vortex crossfire on it and now i fuck up deer and boar.
>>32136651
>paying more than $400 for a No. 4 Mk 1
Hope there was something special about it, other wise you got fucked. Never pay more than $400 for a No. 4
>>32136760
He could be paying with maplebucks.
>>32136760
Don't think I've ever seen a non-beat to shit No4 Mk1 or Mk2 go for any less than $600 anyway. Anything lower always seems to be mismatched, extensively used, or badly maintained at the least.
>>32136651
That is what I bought for my first rifle. Twenty years ago. Also paid about $150 for it.
>>32136870
I got mine for $300, non beat, non shit, perfect bore, but no matching bolt.
>>32136726
did you drilled and tapped that?
>>32136651
You paid a fair price. Enjoy it buddy, it's a fun rifle to shoot.
Be lucky you can find them lower than $500. My local cabelas has a beat to shit sporterized no4 mk1 and they want $759.99. I really hope cabelas burns down. fucking price gouging bitches
>>32137780
cabelas is good only for fingerfucking guns that you can later order on line
>>32137789
It just pisses me off that they over charge for used firearms, upwards of $400-$1000 over what the gun is actually worth and goes for everywhere else.
>>32137801
It's pretty shitty but it's becoming reality
>>32136693
This OP, but in a pinch Indian poo-loo blood will do
Is it worth getting a rail mount for optics? I don't want to drill and tap.
Would kinda like to put a low power scope for 300m shots and such.
>>32136651
If it's not sporterized, in good condition, and for under $500, then you did fine anon. You did even better if it's all matching.
>>32136693
>>32138873
The blood of Afrikans and mudslimes will also work.
Never use Anglo blood. It will literally destroy your firearm.
Does it have the micrometer rear sight or the L-sight?
>>32138903
ATI mount works fine, it's like 40
>>32137801
That reminds me
>be working an auction this past week
>move to the Firearm table
>decent shape but aesthetically worn out pre-WWII colt.45 auto
>sold for $1200
>six older Stevens and Sharps rifles
>sold for $9000 altogether
>20ga 870
>sold for $850
>broken stevens model 35
>sold for $450
The worst part is that a Winchester model 98 John Wayne edition with canted sights sold for $2100.
fudds will pay for overpriced Shit, it's just the way they are.
>>32139029
At least fudds who bubba them pay out the nose for them
Is it worth buying the Chargers/stripper clips for an Enfield?
What ammo do you guys find shoots well out of it? I was thinking of ordering a bunch of cheap Priv Partisan or almost as cheap Sellior and Belliot.
>>32139429
Yes and mine works fine with PPU.
>>32139429
The Priv Patizan works just fine in mine. Never shot the S&B in my Enfield but I have shot plenty of S&B to know it's pretty good ammo.
I'm going to my local gunshop tomorrow to pick up handgun. They have a enfield for $225 iirc.
Should I pick it up? It looks like it was in at least fair condition but i didn't look it over.
>>32139986
As long as you aren't in Walhalla.
Post pictures of it already.
>>32139429
S&B is worse than PPU.
>>32136651
I got mine around 300 not so long ago, but it's because I know people, depending on yours condition you might have done good or not too bad.
>>32136726
That's a really cool mix of old and new.
>>32136651
Maybe you should post in the milsurp thread you fucking faggot.
>>32143171
Those are cancerous and this is specifically about enfields
>>32136989
>muh anecdotes
>>32139429
>>32139585
It's not 'Priv' or 'Privi' but Prvi Partizan as in First Partisan
>>32143919
Hey Mr. Serb, shouldn't you be ethnic cleansing Kosovo instead of fixing spelling on a Cambodian cave drawing board?
>>32143171
Found the ARG/AKG circle jerk tactifag
>>32143919
>actually
Wow what a smug cunt!
>>32143943
Don't speak that way to our Serb milisrup ammo overlords.
Without them it would be much more difficult to feed the 'surp, and I wouldn't have cheap bullets and good brass to reload with.
>>32136651
Why would you buy that instead of a 2A1 that actually fires jacketed lead bullets and not the tears of joy of dying orphan cancer patients who just found out their parents were still alive?
>People actually pay 80+ cpr for hundred year old milsurp garbage
Explain this shit.
>>32144376
This, the serbs deserve our respect for this alone.
>>32136651
$475 is still a lot for a mk1. you can still find mint mk2's for about 500-600
