Enfield Never-fired Fazakerly Value

[lazysod]

Does anyone know what the going rate for a non-fired fazakerly with matching bayonet is? It is not packed in grease, it has been cleaned but NEVER fired. Guaranteed. Any idea? Oh, and if this is the wrong forum for this type of post please remove it. Thanks.

600$

That's sort of what I was thinking. Ooops, forgot to say thanks! Thank you.

Paid 500$ for mine 4 years ago to give you an idea. Getting hard to find surplus .303 Mk.VII ammo for it!

 

[lazysod]

You don't have to use mkvII ammo though.

 

[yohann160]

I'm old fashioned that way.

 

[lazysod]

I hear ya. Hopefully, if I sell it, no one sends one through there. But, I have no say in what happens once it's gone. I feel like asking 600 but if I can send one through I'll sell it for 550.

I will guarentee your rifle has been fired at least once at the factory for a proof test.

Something in the back of my head keeps nagging that it will have fired <1-10> because there is several proofs done to the barrel during production and then there is accuracy tests done to see if it could hit a german. Smellie will know.

Everyone keeps saying that, and most collectors understand they've been fired at the factory and what the term not-fired means. Just like a new car, it only loses value when you drive it off the lot. This one has not been "driven off the lot". I mean no disrespect but I think instead of nitpicking my termonology find all the guys out there using 'unfired'.

 

[lazysod]

Btw , cdn303. Nice collection! Very jealous.

Instead of unfired, how about un-issued.
