The butt---all the furniture is in this condition.

Flash eliminator, showing minor finish damage.

The laser-etched import mark, located under the handguard. It's possible application of this mark caused the finish damage at the muzzle. Some kind of clamp?

A top view. There is still grease on the feed ramp.

So, a 1945 No5 that looks like it was just taken out of the factory shipping crate.

From an internet auction, yet.

OK Krinko,

we've got no internet auctions

we've got restrictive gun laws

I've got no money

depress me further. Tell me you also paid apittance for it

Very tasty

Krinko

Lovely rifle!!!!!! It still amazes me that rifles turn up in this condition. I take it you will be shooting this fine specimen and not keep it as a closet queen. A friend has a No 4 T in pristine condition and it never sees the light of day. Not because he particularily wants to keep it in pristine condition, he just cant be assed to take it out

Ian

...........at Krinko's postings, they just depress me

Will be interesting to see how it groups though

Well, Woftam, I published the price at Gunboards, so why not here?

$365US, shipped.

ian, Duncan, I will be test firing this and my POF No4 Mk2 this weekend, if all goes well.

I will put up the evidence here, if you like.

Sorry about depressing everyone...

I got one CAI import for $160 plus whatever the cost of UPS and another total cost $202. One 1945 and the other 1946, one of the last made.

...........I won't be checking ANY posts soon

Krinko,

Not a bad price, at least wasn't $25 + shipping or something ridiculous like that, thenm I'd be joining Duncan.

Duncan,

I'm looking at a Martini at the moment that's $AUD600 , I decided to pass on the $AUD950 one. There now, feel better
