British Jungle Carbine for $500

The local gun shop has a mint condition WWII Mark V Enfield with a hang tag price of $500.00. It is about the same as Gil and Adam bought back in 1964 for $26.55 from Century Arms. There is also a WWII Remington 1903 Springfield in very good condition for $850.00. Just wanted to update you good folks on the surplus arms values around here. Take care...

That doesnt sound like a bad price on that MK-V, not many of them around, especially not in that condition.

It is amazing what these surplus arms bring today. The prices just keep going up. All the best...

agreed Gil, it wasen't all that long ago that $500 for that rifle would have been outragous, but times change unfortunately :/

The gun shop has a policy of not discounting used guns until they have been on the racks for at least 30 days. A month has passed and I will be in that shop today. Just might get lucky. Take care...

I was in that shop over the weekend and the Jungle Carbine was sold. That happens. All the best...
