Birth of an Irish Contract LE(pic heavy).

I would say taking the wrap off took $200 off the value.

But if you don't take the wrap off, how do you know what you really have inside the wrapping? Catch 22, isn't it?

I see the autopsie went well..What surgical tool did you use for the disection

 

[RobSmith]

I have GOT to get me one of those one day ....

Yes, it's one of those things that burns me. Do I? No, do I?, No.....

I like them alot.

When it was on the way to me I started having second thoughts about opening it but a half sack and a reality check fixed that! No point having anything if you can't use it.

I would rather have a beautiful firearm than some old greasy paper.

Amen brother!


BTW, was up in your neck of the woods the other day (for work). Man, was it ever cold!

I have noticed you and others have covered part of your serial # Dumb Question, But why ???

 

[sniperelite]

Just security really.That number is directly tracable to me. It doesn't need to be in unknown hands.

 

[Vimy Ridge]

Tough dilemma to unwrap & degrease. I have a new Savage in grease that I am trying to forgot exists... the temptation!!!

 

[louthepou]

Yeah, I personnally stay away from these safe queens. They are investments? sure, likely. But torture at the same time. So I rather stick to ones that I can shoot without making their value go down.

But that's quite a beautiful rifle!!!

 

[pottsy]

Oooohhhh, that's a pretty one!

I personally don't put a lot of stock in the $$ value of my firearms,I buy them to shoot and enjoy.The real value comes from hearing the stories that people want to tell me when they see this No.4.Like the first deer they took with a sported No.1 or the old gent that lugged a Bren gun from one end of Italy to the other,now thats an investment! Priceless.

The wood on yours is incredible, mine wasn't nearly as nice. Mine looked nice and the metal looked great but the wood looked a little used. Any thoughts?

Did you get yours in the wrap?Mine was free of dents and such as you would imagine but what the pics don't show very well is the dirty hand prints under the fore stock that were evident when I opened it.Must have been made on a Friday afternoon.

 

[Pancho]

Mine wasn't in the wrap and I'm not sure if the guy I bought it from unwrapped it. About the only thing I know about it is that the ser.# fits the Irish contract. and all the # match.

 

[dangertree]

Thanks for the pics and good on you for getting that old (new) girl out shooting.

She's a beaut.
