Oh by the way, I have books on all the rifles mentioned, and a lot more.
While I already have Skennerton's first two editions on the Lee-enfield I have already put my money down on the third.
If you are going to collect anything, FIRST buy a book on the subject. It will save you money in the long run.
yes the special forces accorn bolt handle Model 17 only a few ever made issued to the forestry corp special sneeky troup snipers, so they could hide in trees 
Calum said:So H Wally are you saying that you are selling any of these?
Well, it had been in mind, but I haven't really heard much from the cgn communities on their worth. I've gotten opinions locally, but I'm going to get more before I decide on it. I could probably be persuaded to part with something if someone offered the non restricted cz + extras from wolverine that I've been druling over though.
In short, I'm growing attached to them... I shouldn't have taken them out shooting... too much fun! Although, as they say, everything has its price.

Example that happened to me
Dealer selling a bubba'd No4 with the charger bridge milled off and no rear sight.
"This is a special model for the British navy. They didn't like the rear sight mounted on the reciever instead of the barrel.
On the other hand, buying a book will sometimes let you pick up a rare rifle when the seller doesn't know what he has.
