I've been following the EE fairly closely for the last couple of months as I prepare to sell off most of my guns. The only two that I can't come up with a price for are these two.
The first is a typical Irish contract No. 4, '55. As expected it matches itself but doesn't come with the matching bayo, round count would be around the 200 mark. Barrel is great and I would classify it as very good, just a couple nicks on the wood, has small CAI import mark at end of barrel (assuming they all do). About 6 years I paid about $650'ish.
The second is an NRF manufactured (rare from what I was told by the original seller) No. 1 Mk. III*, though it also has some BSA markings on it, and I believe it was made in 1917. The bolt, receiver, nosecap, and forestock all match. I'm assuming the buttstock and possibly top wood pieces were replaced when the rifle was FTR'ed in 53. Bore is great, the wood has some dings and nicks so I'd call it good overall. Bought it maybe 7 years ago for $500.
