I won two military trainers at an on-line auction today, including this Enfield



Description advised:
British Model Sht.22IB* Bolt Action Rifle, #F2712, .22 cal., 25'' barrel, blue finish, walnut stock. WWI era SMLE converted to .22 cal. as imported in the early 1980s. Condition is very good to near fine retaining approx. 85% arsenal blue. Stock shows light scuffs and bruises. Magazine internals are missing as this has been converted to single shot. Action is crisp, bore is bright.

WOW those prices are low on a lot of those C&Rs...

You have to remember there is a 17.5% buyer's premium to add

Even with that those type 99s in there would still be about half price...

The Enfield and MAS trainers finally arrived today and I snapped a few pics at my FFL's before they went into his safe for the obligatory 10 day "cooling off " period.


They are both in great shape. The Enfield bore is sharp and shiny.
