Whiskey Tango Foxtrot !?!?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Scrolling through eBay tonight and I could not believe what I was looking at. There is a No4Mk1 bolt assembly from a Savage that is currently listed at $510.00. The next item I looked at was a King Screw for a T rifle with a buy it now price of $300.00. No4 magazines are averaging $200.00 currently and there is an original No32Mk1 scope with mount listed for the buy it now price of $4500.00. What in the absolute F#%k is going on with the prices skyrocketing for an Enfield rifle and its parts?What used to be an enjoyable experience for me in the buying  selling and trading of anything Enfield related has become fouled and skewed in a way that no longer holds its appeal to me.
I currently have an assortment of Enfield parts and a couple of blade bayonets complete with scabbard and frog for the No4 along with some No4 furniture that will need some TLC that I no longer want or need. PM me for the particulars and then make me an honest offer and we can go from there. I have a No7MkIL bayonet with the swiveling pommel complete with scabbard and frog as well...
Post Script: Here are some of the particulars...

	see if they bring that - if they do contact the buyer and unload that hoard of spare bits you have on hand

	whiskey tango foxtrot indeed I here ya Gossic, My buying and collecting days are over, prices here are stupid as well. Just saw an unscoped sniper No4 go north of $8000 Cnd, C No 7`s with transit are north 3grand. I can only hazard a guess what the prices of bolt guns will be after we can`t have semi`s anymore. I`ve heard rumors they`ll be heading to the moon.

	I am seriously considering putting Project Long Branch on Gunbroker with a buy it now price of $1595.00 because it is in every sense of the word, "A One Off" rifle. Every part has been matched to the rifle and it has a 6-24x50 Vortex Viper scope with an updated Picatinny scope rail on it along with the Herter's stockset and, not to mention a M47/C stamped 5 groove barrel...

	Personally I'd keep one of each of "the moving parts & springs" for emergency spares the way things are going & sell the rest. I never thought I'd own not just one but several $1,000.oo guns but guess whut? The Mummies are both uphill from a Grand, Not that the scoped one will ever be up for sale. So is the Lithy SMLE when you add the Central sight & Gehmann eyepiece. The '14 BSA SMLE can't be far behind with the AGP No9 nowadays. The FAL is uphill from there too, before I even add the Hensoldt Ferro ZF-24, & The OlDelft starlight scope (fully working) as sight options.

	It looks like you guys across the pond are starting to catch up, price wise! Although it seems like a steadier market here in Europe. I'm happy with what I own; I've accepted the fact that I will never get an original No4T or L42. What I really need is more time to shoot the ones I have. Although I do still want a WW2 Colt.45 1911 pistol!
	It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!

	Zed. I have a Springfield Armory 1911A1 with Wilson Combat components including the barrel. I would trade it in a heartbeat for a Remington Rand made 1911. The irony is when I was 17 I bought a Remington Rand 1911 for 50 bucks from a pawn shop and a month later traded it for a Ruger Blackhawk in 45LC.

	My local hunting fishing shop Has a Remington 1911 sitting in their safe where it will now remain until it desolves I guess. Can`t buy sell or trade hand guns here anymore. Maybe they can export them out of the country, not sure how that works as everything is still up in the air. Will C21 become law or won`t it? Either way shop owners are stuck with a lot of inventory they can`t move, registered to the store remains at the store, if store goes out of business, the hand guns would be confiscated and destroyed. Sad really.

	... until the LIberal party gets best by the Conservatives and they repeal all the crazy "new" gun laws. It's happened before and I'm sure it'll happen a few more times before I die. Gun control is "low hanging fruit" and a "hot topic" for both the left and the right. Both sides know there will always be firearms... they just use their stance on the issue to garner votes.

	Yes, that happens here too, and with other things, like illegal migration…

	britrifles. Biden is planning on drafting and initiating an "Executive Order" to ban ALL Assault Rifle Purchases for a minimum of 10 years and that includes ANY and ALL semiautomatic rifle from a Rimfire to a Centerfire as a direct result of that shooting at that Gay and Lesbian Bar awhile back...

	Yup. And it will be brought all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary. Clearly unconstitutional.

	I learned something of interest from Iowa's retired Adair County Sheriff, Fred Skellenger. A unanimous vote from 99 Sheriff's can unseat and remove the current President of the United States of America if he is deemed unfit for office...

	As a Canadian, I'd be hard pressed to say who has it worse. Us with Trudeau or our friends south of the border with Biden! Both gotta go so each of our countries can start to realize our potentials!
