[QUOTE="Ahall, post: 4308144, member: 49426"] The MK 4s were the last pattern and saw little use, as they were quickly replaced by the Lee Enfield/ Lee Medford family of rifles. They do tend to be in better shape than their predecessors but have less historical interest. Top of the market will be IMA's current price of about $1000. Thats a nationally advertised price from a major retailer and they are still trying to get rid of them 15 years after they hit the market, so don't hold your breath waiting for that kind of number. Remember, they were selling for about $400 several years ago when IMA had crates of dirty ones. Unless they are pristine or have some special place in history, major auction houses just sell them in lots with other guns and put auction estimates that average 300 to 500 per gun. Fact is, it's a cool gun, but the issues with ammo, abundant supply, and lack of US history hold it back in the market. Realistically, if you can get your money out of it, great. If you can get more, take it. [/QUOTE]
