I bought a Sedgley sporterized US Enfield in .220 Swift with a 10x Unertl scope from a mentor who was cleaning out his safe in the mid 80's. Stock finish had gone gummy and had some minor surface rust. He sold it to me for $200. I refinished the stock and gave it a good cleaning. In the meantime he bought one of the first Glock 17L's, long slide and comp barrel to hit the market. He saw what I did to the rifle and wanted it back... I wanted the Glock. Negotiations started with me giving him $400 cash... after a couple of months haggling, he even-swapped me. I didn't immediately regret it, but after 10-15 years I did. My friend has since developed cancer and other health issues. Last summer I spent a week's vacation doing work around his farm (a six hour drive away) to help him out. When my family was packing to leave, he gave me the Sedgley and 10 boxes of new factory ammo. Also included was a lot of reloading components with load data from the original owner... this West Point Army Colonel has load dates of 1938, 1952 and 1964 on the old ammo boxes.
