More like $650 to $900 up here for a decent, average example! Of course we have a bit more of a sentimental attachment to them up here, the $900 end of the spectrum being a Long Branch No.4. I would say the price of guns has about tripled in the 15 years or so I've been collecting.

I paid $100 about 4 years ago for a Parker Hale deer rifle built off a No.4 Mk.1 receiver and bolt. I reckon I got lucky, even 10 years ago Enfields were rare down here, and usually of wallhanger-only condition

I've got two sporter conversions. I traded my mil-spec pieces a few years ago, but I'll keep the sporters. First of all I won't get any money for them and I like the basement conversion pieces. There is just something about those DIY rifles that I like.

Sporters sure are fun, too bad someone had to tear up something that'll never be produced again to make most of them

Definitely not with the rifle! Time was you'd find one of those and a Cooey .22 in every farm house in Canada. That said we never actually used Webleys, so they're not all that common up here.

They aren't? Oh well. Guess that makes sense from what you've written in the past. He's my fictional character so I'll have him carry a Webley.

Haha, fair enough! If you do come across a Cooey down there you should snap it up. I've never found a more accurate .22 for less money!

I have an Ishapore 2A1 in 7.62 NATO, and a No. 4. I appreciate that the Ishapore is in 7.62mm, but I like the sights on the No. 4 a lot better.
