        <![CDATA[ First of all hello everyone. I&#39;ve been lurking here for a while learning about Enfields before I purchased this beauty. This rifle just came out of the
mummy wrap. I found her in an old mill country store here in Virginia which by the way had some of the best BBQ I ever had. Anyway the owner bought it from
some one locally and took it out of the wrap and cleaned it up. She also came with a bayonet but he misplaced it and is going to try and find it for me. I
really wanted the rifle as a... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ Yeah I think it&#39;s generally considered &#39;unfired&#39; if it has never been fired outside of the factory. All factory rifles were fired first of all to
test them and second and most important of all to see if they were a gem off the factory line with superb accuracy that could be made into sniper rifles.
<br>
<br>
I think I will mount this one up and hang it on the wall. She&#39;s lovely just to look at and I&#39;ve got other things to shoot though this one being my
first bolt action... ]]></description>

I wrestled with the same question--shoot it, or get a &quot;shooter&quot; grade Enfield and leave it unfired.  Finally opted for a shooter grade (it was a
great excuse to get another Enfield). The problem with shooting it is not the shooting  part--it is the... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ If I were in your situation I would put it away in the safe and not shoot it. How many unfired Enfields are left?  There are hundreds of thousands of
&quot;shooter&quot; Enfields out there and you can get a really nice one for around $200. Your unfired mk2 is probably worth at least $600 to someone, but only
if it is never fired.

			<description><![CDATA[ Daveefish I bought this rifle just outside of Abbington. I am in Blacksburg. I might ask around first to see if anyone wants to have an unfired(or factory
fired) one. I don&#39;t reckon there are too many still around and perhaps some one would want to preserve it. Maybe I&#39;ll just keep it, I don&#39;t know

			<description><![CDATA[ redir, Generally the greatest value of an unwrapped Mk.2 is in it&#39;s shootability. Get some UMC .303 to sight it in and have a good time with it.
<br>
<br>
My &#39;55 that I unwrapped (bayo pilfered anyway) has a similar stamp to yours, mine&#39;s 66^PR and is at this time considered an inspector&#39;s mark,
perhaps from the miller.

shooter first and a collector second, so I would shoot it a lot. Congratulations on a beautiful buy. ]]></description>

Now,get some ammo and start shooting it!

Next,get another one so you can compare it to this one;then branch out into accoutrments and variations etc. etc.

Yeah,it&#39;s a sickness but we love it.
