    They would have to be all original, matching and condition is everything. As with everything in the market pricing is the key.

    91 posts now and no chime in by Westrifle. I guess they will let this thread go off the rails with all the what if's.

    I can not reveal the price yet because I don't know if I can drop it down.
    As has been noted, fishing is a fast way to ruin your reputation. Threatening isn't going to make many friends either.

    FWIW, there are South Asian No.4 rifles that have a crosspin through the stock. The so-called Ishapore Pin will take away value in a heartbeat. Other than that, good complete matching number rifles, especially with numbered magazines will always sell in Canada. Premiums paid for Long Branches.

    If admitting they would be HIGH PRICED, how much of a demand is there? Need more info before we can say yay or nay.

    Last Enfields I recall seeing making it to market en masse were the dumping of no.5s about 5 years back. Thinking this may be the tail end of that?

    Could these possibly be from the recent announcement by the Canadian Government on Sept.2/2016, to replace 6,800 of the aging Lee-Enfield MK4 of the 'Canadian Rangers'? with Finland’s Sako Tikka .308?

    Last decent Enfield I found a handful of years ago was $350.

    Is this an offer to price match or price gouge?

    Hmm, okay, I'll bite:

    Matching numbers, Long Branch, unmolested, NO to sporterized hack jobs. Bayonet and original cleaning kit = bonus!

    Those rifles will not be offered for sale, and are all pretty worn out.
