British Enfield 303?

If it was a matching No.4 T rifle, at $600, I would throw money at them. If it is an Ethiopian No.1 import with caked on goat dung.... perhaps not.

Goat dung brings premium prices at Whole Foods and the like.

We go there sometimes just to laugh at the prices and chortle at the people that think they'll live longer because they're buying it.

So, what you're saying is they have a "Holey-er than thou" attitude?

Ever notice the people who shop there are some of the most emotionally and mentally messed up people? Everyone I know who shops there is medicated and in counseling.

I don't know. I think I might look like a guy that they fear they'll meet in a dark alley, or in the parking lot at night. But now that I think about it (????) or like you said. Those kinds are generally so wrapped up in their cell phones, or delusions of wokeness, that they're not likely to even see me!

I've been there once. I bought banana chips. It was obvious I didn't belong by how confused I was. I couldn't find anything I wanted. Weird stuff and weird brands I've never heard of before, and 50% more expensive too.

My .02 the hyper focus on healthy/sustainable/organic is a control thing for modern upper middle class hippies. I'm not saying people should bathe in dangerous chemicals, but some people have made Whole Foods a part of their identity. And man, are they ever boring to talk to.

Yep...
Wouldn't you like to go in there and re-label names?
Neurotic Nachos, Paranoid potato chips,
Trans Bandaids, etc..

I go into New Seasons only once a year now. Christmas dinner uses ground pork and ground lamb. The store is pretty close to me. Damn they got some weird stuff. And that organic produce is insanely priced. and the checkers with a bunch of piercing's and rainbow hair colors. I gave up on them for anything more than that when the rona was here and I had to stand out in the cold until they let you in. And when I walked in and saw the HUGE banners proclaiming BLACK LIVES MATTER hanging from the ceilings.

If inner piece means a creepy unsettled feeling, I'll give you that!

There is an Enfield at Tick Licker in Corvallis. It has a full-length stock and appears unaltered. I know nothing about these rifles. IIRC it was $600

I have one for 300 SMLE in great shape

Check the bore for pitting. A lot of Enfields recently came over from Ethiopia (I believe) and they were not properly stored or maintained.

Good advice but a lot of the pitting and throat erosion was from shooting cordite loads. Much of the surplus ammo used cordite instead of smokeless powder. The heat of the cordite caused uneven erosion of the barrel. For the No 1's this was particularly true and a lot of the guns from World war 1 used this type of ammo.

if your looking for one I have 4 of them

It all depends on condition original parts matching numbers if it's a sporter or full stock 600 is about average give or take
