Definitely not a Glock, and not mine...

All guns have at least two safeties. One's digital, one's cognitive. In other words - keep the digit off the trigger until ready to fire, and THINK. Some guns also have mechanical safeties on top of those. But if the first two don't work, the mechanical ones aren't guaranteed. - me

This one is mine, and is my most recent acquisition. I rescued her from a local gun shop, where she would have been destined for a fate worse than Bubba if I hadn't gotten there first.
She's a 1924 Lee-Enfield ShtLE Mk.V, absolutely perfect except for some dings and compressions on the stock. Only 20,000 were made as "trials" rifles; it was never adopted, and few intact samples survive today. Instead, Britain adopted the No.4 Enfield, which was made in the millions.
Enfields are my main collecting focus. I never expected to own a Mk.V, because they're scarce and expensive. The only example I can find online currently for sale is priced at $1,375, and has several spots of chipped and gouged wood and worn finish, that my rifle does not.
Oh, and I paid $200 for her.
Oh yeah! It's good to know what the dealer doesn't!

i know it's difficult to deal with, taking food off of that gun dealer's table and all, but i'm hoping you'll be able to pull through this. it just takes time. if the guilt is too much to overcome, i'm here for you, and i'm willing to reimburse you that $200 to remove the gun and the guilt that accompanies its ownership.KBCraig wrote: She's a 1924 Lee-Enfield ShtLE Mk.V, absolutely perfect except for some dings and compressions on the stock.

good find.
You know, the gun community is made up of such generous people. I keep getting offers like this, because people care!Chris wrote:i know it's difficult to deal with, taking food off of that gun dealer's table and all, but i'm hoping you'll be able to pull through this. it just takes time. if the guilt is too much to overcome, i'm here for you, and i'm willing to reimburse you that $200 to remove the gun and the guilt that accompanies its ownership.KBCraig wrote: She's a 1924 Lee-Enfield ShtLE Mk.V, absolutely perfect except for some dings and compressions on the stock.

$1300 seems to be the average going price. Wouldja believe this one was under $900, with a second, "working" stock and two mags? It had been marked way down because the length of pull is too short for most folks. (It fits me perfectly.)dws1117 wrote:The shop the I frequent has/had one of those on the shelf a couple of weeks ago. That action was smooth as melted butter. I don't believe that I've felt a smoother action. It is a pricey refle though. They were asking $1300 If I remember.
Can you say layaway?
