My LGS has a pretty nice Lee Enfield, it's marked 1908 and was made by London small arms, no import marks and it was restocked in 1946.

It has some finish wear but nothing too bad.

He has $650 on it but offered it to me at $500. Is this something to look further into, or should I pass on it?

I can't remember.

He said it's a "bring back" but no papers, so whatever that means.

Could easily be surplus/commercial sales.




If you see a stamping that says "18.5 tons" or anything like a commercial export mark, it isn't a "bringback."




I'm skeptical.  I collect Enfields, but I'd give it a good, hard look before plopping down $500.

1946 restock means not a "bring back".  Not a bargain at all unless there is something else special about the rifle.

No "deal of the day" there....Except for the LGS.

I've wanted a No.1 to go with my No.4 for years, but something always comes up.

One day.
