Jungle carbine for 800?

[David L]

Was offered a no5, complete match numbers, with his original bag, seems unfired. Couple of bumps but nothing major. 800$? Does it worth that much?
My real question is is it possible for no 5, 1947 , worth that much?
Thanks

A very nice example at $650
I think $800 is a tad high

Shoot straight - chrisco

Seems a bit high... But lately lee enfiels seem to have gone crazy, somehow.

Agreed - way to expensive.

Soon you will see Indian refurbs going for garand prices.

Wouldn't doubt that at all. Pay to play is the new trend when it comes to milsurp.

If you like it that much. (I don't, because I don't want what I can't shoot and a stock No.5 is too short for me to shoot well and I wouldn't want to mess with a nice one.) The prices keep going up but I would be surprised if you can't find one worth having at a lower price.

What does "with his original bag" mean?
