Was there Sat . and if you like outrageous prices on a lot of old well used crap you would be thrilled.Left with a .54 maxi-ball lyman mold and a set of weaver .22 tip-off mts.Ammo and reloading components priced sky high.Bass Pro was a zoo and out of stock for a lot of things due to their opening.More on the way so they say............Harold
Not a lot of Enfields. There was a decent looking cased C No. 7 for $900 which is not too bad. A DCRA 7.62 with the correct sling that I have not seen before. I think it was $750. There was a .22 Short Rifle Mark II for $895. That was about it for anything interesting. The usual assortment of slings, bayonets etc but nothing outstanding and prices are on the way up. I used to pay $5 for slings not too long ago and they seem to be on offer for $20 now.
Picked up a Maltby No.4 Mk.1 (no star) that was sporterised and had new wood put on it. Probably paid too much but I wanted a No.4 and the wood was nice.
Interesting rifle too, was cleaning it and found more than a few Longbranch marks on various parts. The cocking piece is also not grooved ecept where some asshat must have pulled on it with pliers and left teeth marks.

I went down to Calgary to get a SVT-40 they were just to expensive down there. I just got a SVT from Moving target in Alberta http://www.movingtarget.ca/id3.html The one I got was quite nice take a look and email them, that is if you are still looking.
