usnmars 136 Posted January 15, 2016 Its been quiet in here lately so I figured I would post a new aquisition from a recent auction. Have you ever wondered what a 1917 Enfield SMLE looks like brand new? Well I picked this up for cheaper than a Mosin and it hasn't even had a screw turned on it. There is a little wear on the high spots like the bolt knob and rear sight wings, but heck for 100 years old I cannot complain too much. Sometime in its life it was issued to Canada, but it isnt import marked. The bore is like the day it was made, and there isn't even wear on the magazine from either rounds or the bolt being cycled.

usnmars 136 Posted January 15, 2016 There were a ton of them yesterday, all went cheap. I picked up a Winchester P14 in similar condition, an unissued Savage no4, and a real oddity a Steyr 95/24 in 8mm mauser. I cant understand what is going on in the gunworld, everything is cheap lately. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Less than a Mosin eh? I'll give you $115 for it then. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
