Blind Sniper
Well-Known
Dad bought a sporterized 1917 "American Enfield" (I think that's the right name) for $350 over the weekend, and lo and behold, I'm stuck trying to figure out if he got ripped off.
From what I can tell, the rifle is 65% or better. The sights have been removed and the receiver drilled/tapped for a scope mount, and the original stock/furniture has been replaced with a Bishop sporter stock (which apparently goes for $175 new and unfinished on the Macon Gunstocks website). Finish is worn in quite a few spots, but there's literally no rust on the rifle whatsoever.
Plain and simple, did I inadvertently **** my dad over by telling him to go ahead on the buy without seeing the gun? If so, how badly? And if not, how good of a deal did he get?
