+1, and I'll add a couple of notes.Enfields are wonderful rifles. I love my five. Ammo is getting harder to find. Most of the surplus is gone now. Privi is good stuff and still widely available.
I hear these rifles have an incredible following.
I have heard that they aren't the best in terms of value, accuracy, production value, etc.
... surely they're not all crap, right?
+1. IMHO this Enfield-inferiority hogwash most often comes from 2 sources:Complete garbage ... talk to owner shooters who are knowledgeable collectors and you will learn different. Funny how that goes.

I think he meant the Ishapores in general.
As you can see, the Lee-Enfield has gone from a quite decent battle rifle to an object of adoration. I have five, and I liked them better when they were just guns I could actually shoot without bowing down and sprinkling them with holy water from the Thames.
