Re: A beautiful Rigby Rising Bite rifle in 256 Mannlicher

Wow!
I would really like a double rifle in 6.5x53R

Some things I noticed right away

Unfortunate dent in the rib extension. Someone got caned for that!

At the barrel breeches it looks like the barrels are sleeved into the larger portion of the chamber area of the barrel set. Anyone else see that?

The rear claw mount on the barrels looks like it was added after the rifle was finished. Cartridge designation and bullet weight inscriptions are obscured.

At the views of the top lever, does it look like that lever might have been gold-washed and worn to shiny steel?


What a magic wand of a rifle it must be!
I'd like to handle it.


Cheers
Tinker
