Garrett Co Hooligan #1
The panic buying has been spread like peanut butter across everything from EBR's to reloading components. We all get that. When I spotted this No.4 MK2 Enfield auction I had to giggle. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=324571382
I bought the same mummy wrapped Enfield 20 years ago for $129 and I thought that was high then. If I'd had some foresight (and the $'s at the time) I should have bought all they had. Don't get me wrong, these unissued Enfields are terrific rifles, but selling in the price range of "harder to get" low end AR's? Really?
A little irony is us Hooligans had the old $129 No.4 out rocking yesterday. It's still as much fun and accurate as it's always been. But a $1500+ rifle it isn't.
Let me add this footnote. On a Hooligan trip to a G/S last fall, I helped wagtail pick out and seal a deal on a very nice No.4 for ~ $250. Methinks he knows well he got a good deal.
Will the craziness ever end? Who knows...
