If I can land a No. 4 MK1 in decent shape for $200 is that a decent deal? Or would I be overpaying and still be better off to hit the gun shows when they come to town?
Yup that's a pretty decent price.
No don't wait on the gun show. If there's one there it'll run a heck of a lot more than that, unless you're naturally lucky. Almost everything I've seen at recdent shows has been high. Sure you might be able to deal them dowm, but why when you can score one at $200. You probably won't find a better deal at a gun show.
As stated above they do cock on closing. Be aware. And it might be a good idea to have the head space checked by a competent gunsmith. There seem to be a problem with that and enfields. Based purely on what I've been told. I've never personally had one with a problem, but people with more enfield experience than me always seem to suggest it.
