[y2k]

Anyone on here shoot these besides me?

Fabulous rifles
Tough and meaty
You know you've got something when handle these rifles.

Don't have one yet = haven't seen one yet, if any importers have a line on some of these rifles, I'm pretty sure they'd sell like hotcakes.

 

[y2k]

I wonder what they are worth now? I never see them for sale on here.

I have two in my collection but haven't shot one yet.
One is all original and the other one has been completely reparkerised and the stocks refinished. A few years back I bought a complete stock set, knowing there is probably a Bubba out there with evil intentions toward a 2A1.

I love mine. It's inexpensive, well made, and accurate. The only downside is the weight when carrying it through the woods.

If I owned one, I would likely take it out with me everytime I went shooting at the range.

Too bad there aren't more of these in Canada.

I wonder what they are worth now days?

The cheapest I have seen was $250, the most expensive $1000.

I love using those 10-round .308 stripper clips on my 2A1 - the way an Enfield was meant to be fed !

Maybe with those prices i should sell mine.

 

[desporterizer]

$450 is an average.

I bought this one last year for 300? (maybe 275 - I can't remember!)
It came with a spare mag and no gunsmith scope mount as well.
I haven't shot it yet

I have a '68
Great rifle with a 12rd mag .
I should take it out to the range more often.
7.62nato ammo can be hard to find '

I will if you send me one.

A reliable, smooth and reasonably accurate rifle with lots of character and fed with a relatively easy to find caliber. Most of the ones I have had the pleasure to see were arsenal refurbished ones in surprisingly good condition. I am told the stocks are made of teak, but as I am no expert in wood am a touch skeptical. They do weigh a (metric ) ton and are built like tanks. In short, if you get an opportunity to procure one, do so!

 

[cyclone]

Get those 10-shot 7.62x51mm stripper-clips.......it's like they were made for this rifle !....

 

[smellie]

Sure, but where do you FIND the 10-round chargers????? We had to feed the FNs with 5-ers.

I have shot 2 of these rifles. One looked beautiful, the other looked like the entire Pakistani Army had rolled over top of it. The pretty one would kep the bullets on the paper, more or less, the beat-to-death one was an honest 1-1/4-MOA rifle with my handloads and with DA-61 both. And the ignorant sod who owned the thing wouldn't sell it to me!

Still..... it would be nice if a few thousand more hit the market.
