There was a fairly large batch of new, in the wrapper, .303 No4 Mk 2 rifles (made in the early '50's) released onto the market a few years ago, ex Irish Army stores. These turn up for sale here quite often at auctions and sell in the $600-700 range. To maintain their value, they need to be kept unwrapped and unfired. The moment you use it, it becomes just another No4 in excellent order and only worth $400-500.
