So I stopped at the LGS today and he had a Enfield Jungle Carbine there. Asking price was $450, which Blue Book shows as value for a 60% rifle. I took a quick look at it, it seemed OK, about like a lot of my other old milsurp bolt guns. I didn't want to seem too eager to the point that he won't deal on it, and while interesting he also had a Rock Island 1911 in stainless that was pretty nice, too.

I looked on Gunbroker and there are some for more and some for less. Condition is on par with those guns, from what I can tell from the pics.

What do you guys think, is it worth taking another look at it and seeing if he'll deal?
