I've heard of this store but never actualy seen it.

I've seen the future and I don't like it.

They are really hit or miss. I went to 4 of their local stores on the last $99 ad, and some of the guns should have been parted. No finish, rust, poor bores. The one location that has someone who knows what they are doing, the sales clerk buys the nice ones before they go out!

Worth a look though. I got a '42 Turk Mauser there for $69 a few years back. When we scraped the cosmo off, it had a new  light wood stock and brand new barrel.Shoots and works great.

Ed is right. they can be hit or miss. One I got turned out great! But I went and looked to see if they were truely $99 (it was the enfield-itis kicking in) and they were, but the one I looked at ('43 F) was only so-so. Guess I got lucky. But I did see another gun there that sparked my interest...Mosin 91/39. Anyone have one or any experience with one?  (from my little research, it is "comparable" to a no.4 only Russian)*

I have a 1944 Mosin Nagant 91/30.  Great rifle!!!  Fires the 7.62x54r which is comparable to the 30-06 or .308.  I also bought a 1941 M38 carbine (short Mosin).  The M38 is a flamethrower and makes some noise.  Beware though, once you get a Mosin you will be just as hooked on them as you are on Enfields.  Well, at least I am.  Check out www.russian-mosin-nagant.com.  It's an excellent source.

I bought both the Mosin Nagant 91/30 and the 44 at Big 5 for $89.00 but the Enfield cost me $159.00 on sale from $229.00. For some reason the Enfield is my favorite, just the feel and the action of it.
The 44 does have a very deep and beautiful finish on it though.
The 91/30 I bought a turned down bolt and put a Russian POSP scope on it. Both nice guns just not a Enfield
