Question Price check/info on .303 Enfield

Got out of work a little early today, and stopped by a local gun shop to pick up some case cleaner. They didn't have what I was looking for, but they did have a .303 SMLE on the rack. The stock appears in pristine condition (refinished?), and I don't know what 'type' it was, other than I know it wasn't the 'jungle carbine' issued to the Aussies in WWII. Stock was full length and that's about all I know.
Price tag was $195......don't know if this is a fair price or not.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, as far as the .303 round goes: Is surplus ammo still available? I've heard that case life is shortened on full length resizing....any truth to that?

Finally, what should I look for on this rifle as far as "red flags" go?

Thanks in advance.............
