I just saw a lithgow at a pawnshop with a cheap plastic stock, missing it's rear sight and had the sporterized front sight, with a fair amount of tarnish on the bolt.$240 out the door am I wrong to walk on that deal?
Definitely pass. Even if it was restoreable, you're looking at $300+ in replacement parts.
I saw a sporterized no4 mk1 also but sporterized isn't what I really want, it was $350 I didn't ask how low they would go. It looked salvage able but needed be recrowned
I'm thinking about going back and offering $100 if it's there in a few weeks
$350 is too high for a sporterized example. A non-modified one should be around $300.
I really have no knowledge of Enfields but the thread got me to thinking: in recent years (3 maybe) I've seen a disturbing trend where sellers think their bubba'd rifles are worth much more than they really are.
I've seen some various examples of milsurps that are restorable but priced right on the border of "not worth it". I consider purchasing them just so I can try to make them right but most of the time the completed cost outweighs the value.

I see that too. Choping 6" off a barrel and adding a $50 scope and throwing away the rear sight does not make your mosin worth $500. If you want to bubba it like an sks keep all the factory suff for who ever buys it next.
Keep an eye on gunbroker and you can pick one up for less than 300.
I just bought one on here for $250 uncut
