Look for a used one.
In Response To: Re: Duh!!! ()

With the 150th coming to a close I suspect there will be some for sale. The four makers are Euro Arms, Parker Hale, Armi-Sport and Pedersoli. The new Pedersoli is the most accurate reproduction but is newer and a used one will be hard to find. Also the Italians (who make the Enfields) are doing some funny things with the new made Armi-sport. It will be good to find one that is at least 2 to 3 years old.

You should be able to find one in the 500 dollar range.

If you find one by one of these makers it will be ok. There are some cheaper reproductions which are NOT SAFE for any use other than hanging over a fireplace. Don't buy one of those.

What section of the country do you live in? It may determine how easy it is to find these arms close to home.
