Need help pricing a few Enfields (caution dial-up users – many photos)
Good day all. I was hoping I could get a bit of help fixing a price for the following Enfields
First up is an Indian (Ishapore) 2A (not 2A1). The rifle is in Usual “Indian” condition. Bolt and Magazine aren’t matching but everything else is (receiver, barrel, fore-end, nosecap, Back Sight). Bore is a solid 8 out of 10 (no rust or pitting. Lots of rifling. Bright and shiny but you can tell it’s had corrosive ammo in it in the past). I’ve put almost 200 rounds of 7.62mm NATO surplus through it over the years with no headspace issues and it’s proven to be quite accurate. Has lost about 45% of the black paint on the visible surfaces.
Whole rifle
Back Sight:
Receiver Markings:
Action:
Next up is an RCMP marked 1942 Long Branch No.4Mk.1* (lower rifle in photo).
All matching but the bolt is a force-match. Usual handling marks. All Long Branch parts. The 2 grove bore is 9.5 out of 10 and bright and shiny. (used but lots of life). The serial number has been verified in Phillips & Klawcher’s book “Arms of the Mounted Police” as one of the 1019 No.4's who’s serial numbers were recorded. I also have a scan of a receipt from Crown Assets Disposal Corp. showing the sale of this rifle’s (serial Number) sale to Lever Arms in Vancouver from “Depot” Division in Regina along with 88 other rifles. No idea how it shoots but the headspace is good. I only have the one photo ready to go at the moment but would be happy to post more if requested.
“MP” marked No.4 (lower rifle in photo.)
