I thought I'd get into collecting vintage firearms but I just never got into it. I may pick it up again some day. This is my '54 Enfield fresh out of the Cosmoline wrap. I learned it was worth a lot more then I got it for so it will remain unfired. Plus 303 ammo is very expensive.



What makes this particular one interesting and more collectible is that it was made in Fazakerley england for the IRA believe it or not. The British government closed off the deal before they were shipped so they were all packed away and stored in crates for decades. A lot of them made it over to the states.
