I have my eye on two 1895s in Quebec Canada. The potential seller is 82 and just starting to sell off his collection.

Both are 303s one a rifle and the other a carbine. The carbine is pristine almost 100%. The rifle was used as a target rifle in the 50/60s and has a target sight and the trigger was modified to under 1 lbs. it will slam fire!

I always wanted a 405 but I have put offers in on these two. The carbine I certainly want but the rifle ... Is a modified rifle with a well used bore (corrosive ammo) actually worth anything?
