Nice rifles. I bought one, cleaned it up. Then I bought 2 more.
I wish I'd bought 6 of 'em when I had the chance. Fine shooters for $125.00 each.

I don't mean to ruin your day, but in the late 1950's I used to order surplus .303 SMLEs from the Sears catalog for $9.95 plus $1.50 postage to have them mailed to my door. Of course that was before inflation devalued the dollar into almost nothing compared to then and $1 an hour was the normal starting pay for most jobs in my neck of the woods that didn't require a college degree. I would cut down the forearm wood, reshaped the stock a little to make them look more like a sporting rifle and touched up the metal with cold bluing then resold them for 2 or 3 bucks profit, which I usually used to buy surplus .303 ammo.
An online inflation calculator that I often use says that $9.95 in 1959 equaled $70.76 in today's inflated dollars, so I guess $125 for a .303 Enfield isn't as far out of line as I first thought.
I have been well pleased with mine. It came packed in cosmoline.
Best regards,
